Task: Today, we are going to begin a dialogue about the ways we attain and then maintain power in our lives. The following short video clips highlight examples of the the way we exert power over others, and the way that others might exert power over us. One video illustrates the fact that money is a mechanism for power, and the financial inequities that exist in our society certainly should make us stop and think about what this means for the future of our country. My hope is that we can begin a dialogue about our interpretations of the power we possess both on a personal level and then on a global level. We will then take these concepts and apply them to major themes in Macbeth.
Once you grab a Popsicle stick with your number on it, you'll go to your station and complete the task at that station. You will then respond to the questions that goes with each group, and once each group is done, you'll move on to the next task. We may need two days for this activity. Be prepared to discuss your findings at the conclusion of the activity.
