Shakespeare's MACBETH

Today in language arts, we'll begin reading and discussing William Shakespeare's Macbeth.  We'll study the play in the original language, for the richness of that original provides much depth to the story, but we'll also read summaries of some scenes.  For my language arts classes, I've put together a version of the play that combines the original language with narrations of certain scenes.  (Here's a link to a PDF of that version.)  Also, the text is peppered with analysis and comprehension questions (in sidebar boxes).  Those questions will guide our in-class discussion.  Here's a link to the version of the play we'll be reading in class.  As I mentioned in class, the thing I love about Shakespeare is that no matter how many times I read a play, I always discover something new.
