Teaching Macbeth with the Folger Guide
About
Join Mark Miazga, Folger Mentor Teacher, for a two-hour virtual session devoted to the Folger Guide to Teaching Macbeth. Working through the guide in practice, we will explore hands-on approaches to introducing the language, strategies for close reading and scene work, and a unit sequence that takes students from first encounter to culminating activity. You will leave with ready-to-use lessons, a flexible framework for pacing Macbeth in your classroom, and a discount in the Folger Shop for the Folger Guide to Teaching Macbeth. You will leave with: Activities for entering Macbeth’s world through its opening scenes, using sound, movement, and choral language work Strategies for teaching the soliloquies as active thinking-out-loud moments, giving students real ownership of what Macbeth is working through A unit sequence that builds toward a culminating project connecting the play's questions about ambition and conscience to students' own lives
