Please finish Act I of Macbeth and answer the question for each scene on your copy of this: Act I: Questions.

Yes, Shakespeare is hard to read, but even so, I would recommend that you not use the 'no fear' side unless you absolutely are lost and need a booster. Don't rely on it too much!

And, if you want to watch the act, here is a video: Macbeth Video: Act I. Please note: Often directors choose to omit lines for various reasons as is the case here...but still, kind of interesting to follow along with the actors as they deliver their lines.
