In this episode, we go beyond the witches to explore how Macbeth offers insights into ambition, performance, and mental health—both in the play and in the classroom.
Tune in for:
- Ambition and Inner Conflict: How Macbeth’s public persona hides his private fears—and how this mirrors the experience of teachers.
- Music Connections: Explore thematic connections with Janelle Monáe’s “Tightrope.”
- Fact-Checking the Witches: A classroom activity where students analyze equivocation in the witches' prophecies and fact-check modern political speeches.
- Teacher Reflection: Insights on walking the tightrope of teaching, balancing external performance with internal well-being.
- Practical Ideas: Strategies and activities you can use right away to engage students with Macbeth.
Whether you’re looking to explore Gothic themes, mental health, or fresh ways to teach Macbeth, this episode offers both inspiration and practical tools.
