Cutting It Close With Macbeth

Help me give my students a paper cutter, paper organizers, and incentives for reading Macbeth!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dudek's classroom raised $167

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are reading Macbeth, which is very challenging to them. Most of my students have 4th-6th grade reading levels so you can imagine it is hard to get them excited to read Macbeth. However, I have come up with several ideas or incentives to get them pumped to read Macbeth.

Help me incentivize my students to read Macbeth with Macbeth-related items to motivate them!

The paper cutter will be used to create Macbeth-themed bookmarks. I will be laminating these bookmarks so that students can take them home at the end of the year. I will also have the tote as an incentive for students to finish the year with strong essays.
