Recitation killed the King


"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing."
— Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 17-28)


Memorize the following lines perfectly for 100 points. Schedule a time to meet with me before school, during tutorial, or directly after school BEFORE taking the final Exam over Macbeth. I will schedule one day for detailed, yet concise, review of the play. The Exam is very detailed, therefore your annotations (on post-its) will serve you well during preparation.


If you can figure out how to manipulate subtext within a soliloquy with gestures, facial expressions, and dramatic pauses to enhance your overall tone and message for extra points, practice and do it.


Projected Exam date: Wednesday, September 22st; therefore, you must have your recitation scheduled and completed before 1:30 that day.

"Capisce?"
