This is what I have for my rationale concerning the Macbeth Unit Plan. I would be very grateful if I could have some feedback on it. It would benefit me greatly to have some feedback both in person and here on this blog. Many thanks in advance!
Macbeth
is a play that is meant to be experienced through many lenses, including
cultural, gender, and so on. By reading the text in this manner, students will
be able to create a cultural tolerance in the classroom as they continue to
compare the text to their own and others’ cultural beliefs. The same applies to
gender or whatever topics may be applicable to the lesson or unit. Macbeth
takes place in Scotland, though it is written in England by an English writer.
By introducing the same text, from another cultural point of view, it will be
easier to introduce other texts from different cultures into the curriculum as
well. This is also a chance to use Shakespeare in the classroom without following
“classical” methods of teaching. This is also a great opportunity to have a
lesson on myths and fables, especially surrounding witches and what their
purpose is in the play. Students will benefit greatly from learning about other
cultures, as it will make the classroom environment more comfortable and help develop an overall
cultural tolerance.
