Act 2 - Make sure you have read all of Act 2 by class tomorrow

You will have time in class today to complete the scenes not read in class yesterday...

If you didn't get a chance to finish all of it (period 8 in particular) Make sure you read the rest of Act 2 and the reactions to Duncan's death

The Murder of Duncan happens in Act 2, scenes 1 and 2 - how does it go down?

Confusion's Masterpiece  in Act 2, scenes 3 and 4 - what are the immediate results of Duncan's murder? What of the suspicion and alienation of Macduff and Duncan's sons?

Understand the Porter scene is provide well needed humor to digest the murder of the king... he complains about his menial job and talks about the night of debauchery that just passed.

Who is blamed for Duncan's death?

What of the image of blood?

What of the idea of handwashing? 

Answer all of the above in your notebook... Make sure you have taken notes... I have posted a link to the whole play a few posts down.
