Macbeth Pictures

And on thy blade and dungeon gouts of blood

Mine eyes are made the fools o'the other senses

Macbeth Video

Group A: Jono, Connell, Amy, Henrietta

 

Immediately executed the necessary steps to address the activity. Organised effectively a punctuation read. Working well as a team. Amy and Jono led the discussion at first, organising the team's time. Henrietta editing well. Connell pointing out the 60 second nature of the task, but rest of the group weren't listening, which was frustrating for him. Came to a group conclusion rather quickly about setting. Then had to revise original plan as hadn't fully anticipated how to edit the scene. Clear sense of what is happening in the scene. Separated it out into key moments. Henrietta and Amy used book notes and did some detailed editing. However, no real overview of time keeping. Noticed suddenly only 10mins left. Connell took over editing to speed it up. Some sense of frustration at not finishing this on time. Difficult to just get started, but did with only 3.5mins left!

 

B = 7 overall (may change with finished product)

Extension of Macbeth Act 1 Scene 5

MACBETH:
   My dearest I was thinking the same only but yesterday, 

This thought is the blackest of thoughts, 
(TO HIMSELF) Not the thought of a women.

Nether the less Malcome has been made the new prince of Cumberland. Unless we are to act soon my true fate shall never become.Are we to use nature or mortal instrements? Never mind for that now… the King must not see though our deceitful hearts, all he is to see are two welcoming hosts to a magnificent feast. Is that understood?

Horriscopes

Lady Macbeth

SIGN: Cancer

Horriscope: Inspiration and insights that come through dreams could give you the boost you need to                         get your career on track. You may have been kicking different ideas around for a while,                         but what you realize today could motivate you to act. Formulate a strategy before you                             begin. As long as you make the effort to stay focused, efficient, and practical, whatever                           you decide today might work.

Gavin Ewart Poetry Competion 2013

Water

Water is infinite,
Water is freedom,
Water is pure.

When you look at water you see the trickle of prosperity,
You see the peace against chaos,
And you see the glimmering gargle of flowing playfulness.

When you hear the splashes of water  you think of a smooth and silky texture,
You think of the fundamental compound of Mother Nature,
And you think of a refreshing water fall.

When you touch water you can feel the sadness and happiness that runs through it,
You feel the sinewy flow of the rivers, seas and oceans,
And you can feel the shiny freedom that every living atom craves.
