Today, we talked about Macbeth. Mr Maddox was reading and it was kind of funny. We talked about the witches again and talked about how much of a hero Macbeth was.

Today we talked about the book in class. We learned that the three witches did not care on which side would win the battle.

Today in class, we took a quiz, and i got a very bad grade. However, Mr. Maddox said that we will get a curve, so I am kind of relieved. Also, he told us that he will not confuse us anymore and try to explain to us more. I think that he was trying to show us the happiness of learning through what he is doing to us, like confusing us and making us mad, and finally becomes more of a teacher. I think that Mr. Maddox is a genious. (literally)

Today was the worst class that I ever had. Even though now I actually read what he tells us to and write my journals diligently, we had a quiz on what year Macbeth was first performed, and we all thought it was 1606, while it was actually 18 something. Not only that, he said we are going to have a quiz on everything about Macbeth, and now I can't study for my other tests, because Mr. MAddox's quizzes are extremely hard. I hope he was joking. Sometimes I wonder how low my grade would be if he entered all those quiz grades, and I realize he is not entering them to use it as a weapon towards us to make us work harder.

Today we had class outside. I did not like it becasue it was too hot. At first Mr. Maddox said we were going to have a quiz, but later we did not, and said if we keep discussing like that, we will not have another quiz. He also said that he has graded all of the translation quiz that we took last week, and said that the class average was about a 75. However, I get the feeling that he is lying to make us work better, but i won't be suprised if I fail that quiz, because it was ridiculously difficult.

9.17.07

Today we had an interesting class. Ironically, we did not have a quiz over act 2 of Macbeth, but
instead we talked about ninjas, and how they are different from what we believe. Mr. Maddox said a ninja's only purpose is to win, not anything else. They either do it with weapon or use their head to talk out of stuff, or sometimes it is just good to run away.

9.13.07

Today we had a outdoor class, and were informed that we are going to have a translation quiz over phrases from Macbeth, which can replace all of our quiz grades that we got from before.
After that, Mr Maddox gave us a free time, and later told us to not live for the weekend.

9.12.07

Today we took a quiz on scenes 1-4 on Macbeth. It was very difficult but suprisingly Mr Maddox told us that he will not include our grades until he sees that we are improving on understanding the book. He also told us that Macbeth is a cursed book and actors are not
allowed to say the word 'Macbeth.' I thought it was wierd.
