WE WILL FINISH Sandra Cisneros's novella, The House on Mango Street, this week. This week we will begin studying Shakespeare's tragic play, Macbeth. For our reading you have several resources. They include audio for the play, a dramatic reading that will allow you to hear the speakers inflection. I've also added a graphic novel version of the play, one that includes Shakespeare's language in its entirety. You can find these resources here.
