What a relief...Andy is back! Now our class can stop running rampantly in total confusion! This week we are refocusing and getting to work on our projects. We chose groups, movies, and topics and began watching the movie we selected. My group is Maddie, Brenna, Sage, and Christian and we chose to do Macbeth.
We are studying Macbeth from a psychological analytical view. From what I know about the play Macbeth, this should be a very interesting topic because the characters a psychologically complex. Both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are power hungry, and kind of crazy, murderers who want control. That's pretty much all I know about this play, but I'm very excited to learn more and study the deeper meanings. While I was also interested in King Lear, I know nothing about that play so I chose the one that I at least know bits and pieces of. I think I heard that King Lear is more violent? But I'm not sure...
My personal goals for the week are to get back on track and crack down on the tasks at hand. I need to really focus on my Independent Reading project, as well as the Macbeth project. I like that we are going to be watching Macbeth rather than reading it because visuals help me to better understand what's happening. Sometimes when reading, especially older plays and books, I get lost in the language complexity and lose sight of what is actually happening. Watching it will give me a visual representation of what is happening and help me connect the words to actual occurrences.
I'm excited to see what our group is going to come up with because we are all deep critical thinkers who all think from different perspectives. I think that if we are able to come together and get a single coherent presentation, it will be one that is very well rounded and planned out from all angles. The only hard part will be bringing all the different views together.
Fair is foul, and foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air.
