Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Murder, greed, ambition and fear. Sounds like the ingredients for a good movie, right? These ingredients also make for a really good book. They are the key elements of William Shakespeare's brilliant dramatic tragedy, Macbeth. I currently teach 11th grade English at a high-needs school in New York. My students (largely minorities who qualify for the free-reduced lunch program) have not yet been exposed to the work of Shakespeare. I plan to introduce my students to Shakespeare this school year through the play, Macbeth. I believe my students will love the complexities of the play and the deep characters. For this proposal, I am requesting copies of the Folger Shakespeare Library edition of Macbeth for my students to read. We will spend several weeks in class reading and analyzing the play. If students are provided with their own copies of the play, they will be able to make annotations as they read -- a valuable skill for college. During our unit of study on Macbeth, I have arranged for teaching artists from the Shakespeare Society to come into the classroom to help students bring Shakespeare's words to life. Students will act out scenes of the play and will analyze the characters' motivations. Reading this play will prepare my students for college by providing them with the skills needed to handle complex works of literature. It will also provide them with the culture capital needed for advanced study and the world beyond. Thank you in advance for supporting my students!
