Done with Act III, almost done with Macbeth!

We finished Act III and took the quiz-- next week we finish the play!
Final for Macbeth: You must turn in a complete study guide and you will have an amazing opportunity to memorize and recite one of the great speeches form the amazing play: Macbeth.
 We also looked over our essays for the work sample in class this week and wrote a feedback paper that we handed in. If you were absent, here are the feedback questions, but you will not be able to write until you re-read your essay, which I have. Please come see me to make this up.
Feedback questions:
1-   Review the essays you wrote that were scored for state writing samples.
a.   Re-read your essay
b.   Look at your scores
c.    Write Feedback and hand in: ON a separate paper, answer these two questions in paragraph form:
                                                            i.      Compare/contrast: What you like the best about your essay and which aspect got the highest score. Same—different—why?

                                                         ii.      If you could change two things about this essay to REALLY polish it up for a college application, what would they be? (Be very specific—reorganize, okay, but how? Rewrite the opening, okay, but to include or exclude what, exactly?)
Please come in and make up any quizzes OR the essay, if you have not done so already.
