Double, Double Toil and Trouble

To get in the spirit of Halloween, we read a segment of Act 4 from Macbeth. We had a discussion about mood, and how moods can actually be set by the inclusion of specific concrete details. The students were then asked to create a mood by designing their own brew. As expected, the brews got pretty scary.

Hot Room in a Bed Room

Double, double toil and trouble
as an ear of a person

about the trouble.





How Do You Like Your Brew!

Tick tock watch me drop

the spit of a daredevil.
Here is what my brew can do,
make you my slaves and do
whatever I want. From sucking
blood to making a glass of tea.
Do what I want or be turned
into pig’s feet.
