Okay change of plan you guys,
We messed up and thought it was Act 1 and 2, with 11 scenes, but it's Act 2 and 3, with 10 acts. There's 6 of us I think. So, if everyone except 2 (these two will have 1 scene) of us took 2 scenes, that'd be great.
We need to get down to business because this is due Thursday!!!
I'll try and make it easy for everyone and assign parts:)
Allie- Act 2- Scenes 1 and 2
Janie- Act 2- Scenes 3 and 4
Nick- Act 3- Scenes 1 and 2
Silvana- Act 3- Scenes 3 and 4
Britni- Act 3- Scene 5
Elijah- Act 3- Scene 6

Hey, I just figured out that I did the math wrong. There's five of us in this group, so one of us would have to do three scenes while the rest would do two. And, with that, I volunteer to take the first three scenes.
ReplyDeleteAlso, we may not want to look for sleep, rest, etc. in the literal sense. Sleep could mean death, or any number of other things.
Okie dokie, I'll take the first group of two, scenes 4 and 5 in Act one. And I think Allie brings up a great point with looking for words like death.
ReplyDeleteNick Duquette Reporting for duty just tell me which scence to do.
ReplyDeleteyea same just give me some and ill do it. but we have to figure out have we are presenting it out there. i thought acting it would be cool. in my drama class there is a game called what are you doing and i think we could use that game and spin it off to use it. ask me or allie cuz she is in my drama class to. ill explain how i mean it later
ReplyDeleteOkay guys! IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We aren't doing Acts 1&2, it's Acts 2&3!!!! We need to assign scenes to everyone, and idk, Silvana and Allie's game sounds cool. I doubt other groups will do that:)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I assigned parts to everyone so we can all start working. But we need to figure out what we're doing for our presentation. Allie and Silvana, if you two could explain to us what your acting game is, that'd be great. Will that be enough, or should we also make a powerpoint or something?
ReplyDeletei think we should also make a PowerPoint so there is a hard copy of our work
ReplyDeleteno cuz every one does power points. ok so for the game to people stand in the fron and on does an action. the other person asks what there doing and the other person has to name something other than what they are doing. so if i was miming running and someone asked what i was doing i would say singing or something. i think if we use that but change it it would be cool. like we stand up there and each do an action and have the class pick on person and as what there doing we say a line about sleep and then talk about what it means so the poeple in the class have to come up with stuff and tell us what they think and we add in what we thought about it. and each person has a few lines and they say the line, who said it, and why we think it was said and what it mean then we find out what the class thinks it means. and we just do that for everyone in the group.
ReplyDeleteany questions?
ok you guys well i was working on act 3 scene 5 and there is nothing to do with sleep in that scene. So i guess if you want me to do a different scene just tell me what to do. I will go over this scene again just to make sure
ReplyDeletei think that is a good idea
ReplyDeleteOk, working on it as we speak.
ReplyDeleteok so is everyone ok with that idea? if you need me to i will explain it more in class today and maybe me and allie can show you or give you an example. i would say we need to meet after school but i cant because i have crosscountry after school every day till like 4:30 at the earlyest so yea. but give me some feed back on that idea and add some if you want
ReplyDeleteYeah, and I have marching band three hours a day three days a week.
ReplyDeleteSo everyone, just pick a quote that you like about death, sleep, etc. and that's the one we'll use.
hey allie can i use quotes from the part you were assigned that u arnt using cuz there is none in the scene i was assigned
ReplyDeleteok so here is all of the quotes from act 2 and 3 that have the word sleep in it
ReplyDeleteACT 2 SCENE 1
BANQUO
Hold, take my sword. There's husbandry in heaven;
Their candles are all out. Take thee that too.
A heavy summons lies like lead upon me,
And yet I would not sleep: merciful powers,
Restrain in me the cursed thoughts that nature
Gives way to in repose!
MACBETH
Go bid thy mistress, when my drink is ready,
She strike upon the bell. Get thee to bed.
[Exit Servant]
Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
A dagger of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
I see thee yet, in form as palpable
As this which now I draw.
Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going;
And such an instrument I was to use.
Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses,
Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still,
And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,
Which was not so before. There's no such thing:
It is the bloody business which informs
Thus to mine eyes. Now o'er the one halfworld
Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse
The curtain'd sleep; witchcraft celebrates
Pale Hecate's offerings, and wither'd murder,
Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf,
Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace.
With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards his design
Moves like a ghost. Thou sure and firm-set earth,
Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear
Thy very stones prate of my whereabout,
And take the present horror from the time,
Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives:
Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives.
ACT 2 SCENE 2
MACBETH
There's one did laugh in's sleep, and one cried
'Murder!'
That they did wake each other: I stood and heard them:
But they did say their prayers, and address'd them
Again to sleep.
MACBETH
Methought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep', the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care,
The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast, --
MACBETH
Still it cried 'Sleep no more!' to all the house:
'Glamis hath murder'd sleep, and therefore Cawdor
Shall sleep no more; Macbeth shall sleep no more.'
LADY MACBETH
Who was it that thus cried? Why, worthy thane,
You do unbend your noble strength, to think
So brainsickly of things. Go get some water,
And wash this filthy witness from your hand.
Why did you bring these daggers from the place?
They must lie there: go carry them; and smear
The sleepy grooms with blood.
LADY MACBETH
Infirm of purpose!
Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead
Are but as pictures: 'tis the eye of childhood
That fears a painted devil. If he do bleed,
I'll gild the faces of the grooms withal;
For it must seem their guilt.
ACT 2 SCENE 3
Porter
Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and
urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes;
it provokes the desire, but it takes
away the performance: therefore, much drink
may be said to be an equivocator with lechery:
it makes him, and it mars him; it sets
him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him,
and disheartens him; makes him stand to, and
not stand to; in conclusion, equivocates him
in a sleep, and, giving him the lie, leaves him.
MACDUFF
Awake, awake!
Ring the alarum-bell. Murder and treason!
Banquo and Donalbain! Malcolm! awake!
Shake off this downy sleep, death's counterfeit,
And look on death itself! up, up, and see
The great doom's image! Malcolm! Banquo!
As from your graves rise up, and walk like sprites,
To countenance this horror! Ring the bell.
LADY MACBETH
What's the business,
That such a hideous trumpet calls to parley
The sleepers of the house? speak, speak!

ACT 3 SCENE 2
MACBETH
We have scotch'd the snake, not kill'd it:
She'll close and be herself, whilst our poor malice
Remains in danger of her former tooth.
But let the frame of things disjoint, both the
worlds suffer,
Ere we will eat our meal in fear and sleep
In the affliction of these terrible dreams
That shake us nightly: better be with the dead,
Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace,
Than on the torture of the mind to lie
In restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave;
After life's fitful fever he sleeps well;
Treason has done his worst: nor steel, nor poison,
Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing,
Can touch him further.

ACT 3 SCENE 4
LADY MACBETH
You lack the season of all natures, sleep.
MACBETH
Come, we'll to sleep. My strange and self-abuse
Is the initiate fear that wants hard use:
We are yet but young in deed.

ACT 3 SCENE 6
Lord
The son of Duncan,
From whom this tyrant holds the due of birth
Lives in the English court, and is received
Of the most pious Edward with such grace
That the malevolence of fortune nothing
Takes from his high respect: thither Macduff
Is gone to pray the holy king, upon his aid
To wake Northumberland and warlike Siward:
That, by the help of these -- with Him above
To ratify the work -- we may again
Give to our tables meat, sleep to our nights,
Free from our feasts and banquets bloody knives,
Do faithful homage and receive free honours:
All which we pine for now: and this report
Hath so exasperate the king that he
Prepares for some attempt of war.
LENNOX
My former speeches have but hit your thoughts,
Which can interpret further: only, I say,
Things have been strangely borne. The
gracious Duncan
Was pitied of Macbeth: marry, he was dead:
And the right-valiant Banquo walk'd too late;
Whom, you may say, if't please you, Fleance kill'd,
For Fleance fled: men must not walk too late.
Who cannot want the thought how monstrous
It was for Malcolm and for Donalbain
To kill their gracious father? damned fact!
How it did grieve Macbeth! did he not straight
In pious rage the two delinquents tear,
That were the slaves of drink and thralls of sleep?
Was not that nobly done? Ay, and wisely too;
For 'twould have anger'd any heart alive
To hear the men deny't. So that, I say,
He has borne all things well: and I do think
That had he Duncan's sons under his key --
As, an't please heaven, he shall not -- they
should find
What 'twere to kill a father; so should Fleance.
But, peace! for from broad words and 'cause he fail'd
His presence at the tyrant's feast, I hear
Macduff lives in disgrace: sir, can you tell
Where he bestows himself?
