Seeing hard work pay off never gets old! I loved seeing the 20-1s work on their final Macbeth assignments. While some showed off their artistic side with masks, others chose to create a mandala and highlight their writing abilities. Both projects allowed the students to be creative, choosing different colors and symbols to represent the characters in the play on a much deeper level. I'm going to proudly show off their assignments in my classroom and in the halls of the school. Each and every one is different with their own interpretations and thoughts. 
Some colors they chose for their mandalas or masks were red to signify revenge, black for death, and one group placed orange over Lady Macbeth's mouth to symbolize the deceit and lies that she would speak. One mask uses a cloud over its head to denote the "clouded judgement" of Macbeth after
his loss of control in Scotland, while another chose to place glitter on Lady Macbeth's face to show her femininity and represent how underneath the "pretty" is the "ugly".
