** Macbeth Virtual Tour **
You are about to travel back in time to Elizabethan England to discover the world of Shakespeare and the inspiration for one of his most famous plays, Macbeth. Put on your traveling shoes, pack your camera and journal, and follow the itinerary below. As you stop at each site, record your impressions and answers to the guide's questions in your travel journal (a Word document set for Landscape). Use your camera (copy and paste into a new word document for each Tour Stop) to record memorable images from your journey. At the end of each day's touring remember to complete an entry in your IRC Project Log. At the end of our week of travel, you will compile your impressions from your journey into a "scrapbook" that you will upload to this website to share with your classmates and print to add to your English binder for reference during our reading.
