English 11 E: Essay work

Have your chart done with the 3 traits for contrast and start on your essay outline/essay map.  We will have time in class Thursday to work complete the outline and rough copy.  

If you do not have a copy of the hand out you will have to create your own! We wrote down the characters from Macbeth to be contrasted.  Came up with one or two ways they are similar and then focussed on the contrasts.  

Have three to four traits to contrast and the supporting evidence to go along with it. Example: Lady Macbeth and Macbeth differ in their level of confidence.
