English 10-CP/Honors Macbeth Motif Projects

All students in English 10 classes recently completed motif projects that attempt a creative representation of a key motif from the play Macbeth.  Students also wrote an explanation of their project, incorporating relevant quotes from the play that support their interpretation, and then they will present the projects to their classmates over the coming weeks.  

Some of these projects are quite visually arresting and powerful:

Rayna Reddy's "Light" Motif Project

 

Alexandra Ortiz's "Hands" Motif Project

 If you have a 10th grade student, ask him/her about these projects.  We're all very impressed by what our students have been creating!
