  1. Macbeth Essays • Introduction Paragraph: • Don’t need “support” here – just intro and support in the rest of the paper • ABSOLUTELY NO: “I’m going to tell you about” or “My paper will be about” • If you start out with a statistic, make sure it is real! And cite where you got it.

  2. Macbeth Essays • Quotes: • Citation goes at the very END of the sentence: • Macbeth said “blah blah” and he went crazy (Shakespeare 26). • If you start in the middle of a quote, or don’t finish the entire thing, use … either before or after. • Paraphrasing quotes longer than 4-5 lines. • Your entire paper should not be made up of JUST quotes! • Transition into quotes – Macbeth said, “blah blah…” • Your own commentary between quotes.

  3. Macbeth Essays • Writing: • Play-by-play…. I already read the play, don’t just give me a play-by-play of what happened! I want to hear what you think about it, not just a summary! • “Well” and “So” weaken your paper

  4. Macbeth Essays • Grammar: • Which witch is which? • Capitalize Proper Nouns! • Lady Macbeth, King Duncan • Macbeth is a play – Needs to be either underlined or italicized if you are referring to the play itself. • The title of your essay should be capitalized • “Macbeth should have” not “Macbeth should of” • No SLANG • “Till” should be “Until” • “cause” should be “because”
