Year 10 Homework - due on Tuesday 6th October

Write a letter home to your wife, Lady Macbeth, telling her about your extraordinary day.

In your letter, you must cover:

- Your exploits in battle

- Your encounter with the witches

- Your meetings with Ross and Angus, then with King Duncan

- Your hopes and fears

She will want to know that you can see the opportunity that lies before you.
She will also want to know you didn't show anyone else what you were thinking!
So reassure her about both.

> Remember to act on your last writing targets.
> Bonus points if you can use words from the play correctly.
