Hello from Teacher's Brunch HQ in frosty Auburn Hills, MI.
A few of use around here have been working on a Shakespeare project, and while we're not ready to share the whole thing yet, something came up yesterday we thought you might like.
For "Macbeth," we decided it would be fun to work-up a fake resume for the tragic would-be King. It got us to thinking that making resumes for all the characters, or any character for that matter, is a neat way to have students consider the people that inhabit the literature they're reading a little more deeply.
So "Objective" ends up being less about a job, maybe, and more about that character's motivation.
Other common resume headings could be added or changed as specifically needed.
Of course, a little lesson about resume writing is never a bad thing, either.
Below is our simple ditty for Macbeth. Let us know if you give it a try.
(seems like it's a Scottish kind of week)
