Abridged and Modified Macbeth Side-by-Side Text and Questions / 60 pgs
Macbeth was the first Shakespeare play I ever taught, and it helped me appreciate how much fun your students can have while acting out a drama in the classroom.However, this experience also helped me understand what aspects of a Shakespearean drama frustrate students and teachers. Some of the characters are confusing, some scenes do not advance the plot or are not school appropriate, and some of the language is dense.For these reasons, I created an abridged and modified version of Macbeth.

Oedipus the King (Oedipus Rex) Tragedy Unit
If I had to choose only one classic piece of literature that everyone should study, it would be Sophocles' Oedipus the King (Oedipus Rex). This ancient Greek tragedy is the model against which all other tragedies are compared, from Shakespeare onward. Aristotle himself lauded it as the quintessential example of the genre. Today, the play raises questions about the place of tragedy in modern life.This in-depth unit plan is based on the various activities I created when teaching Oedipus in differe
