Aim: How does Shakespeare's use of complex character development illuminate central themes and contribute to Macbeth as a whole?

"Cluster Activity (Part 1) Exploring Ms. Fusaro's wallet... What can you determine about my character from the items you find in my wallet?"

Today in class, Ms. Fusaro allowed us to go through her wallet to see how much we could find out about a person just by seeing the contents of their wallets. She entrusted her wallet to a fellow student, George, and as he went through the wallet he would announce to the class whatever he found. As we went through Ms. Fusaro's
wallet we found out stuff about her that we didn't previously know about her, such as that she is a blood donor. She also has several forms of writing utensils in her purse as well as several different methods of payment and this shows that she is prepared for different occasions. We could use this skill in real life to find out more about a person that we have been originally not given much information about.


"Cluster Activity (Part 2) Character Wallets-Each group must choose a character (in Macbeth) and create a wallet with contents that are suitable for that character at this point in the play..."
After going through Ms. Fusaro's wallet we were tasked with creating a wallet of a character in Macbeth and the purpose of doing this was to force us to think about what each character would have in their wallet and this would help us to identify how each character was unique.
