NOTES
Seems bruited.^4 Let me find him, Fortune!
And more I beg not. [Exit. Alarums.]
[Enter Malcolm and Siward.]
Siward. This way, my lord. The castle’s gently rend’red:^5
The tyrant’s people on both sides do fight;
The noble thanes do bravely in the war;
The day almost itself professes yours,
And little is to do.
Malcolm. We have met with foes
That strike beside us.^6
Siward. Enter, sir, the castle. [Exit. Alarum.]

Macbeth. Why should I play the Roman fool, and die
On mine own sword?^1 Whiles I see lives,^2 the gashes
Do better upon them.

living men.

TEACHING
PERSONALIZE FOR LEARNING
English Language Support
Dramatic Reading Encourage students to choose roles and perform
a dramatic reading of Scene vii, from line 14 until the scene ends.
Before they read, make sure students understand the meanings of
passages such as those shown in the chart they created earlier. As
groups rehearse, provide help as needed with pronunciation, word
emphasis, cadence, and gestures. Since Malcolm has such a small
part, students might swap roles and perform their reading a second
time. EMERGING/EXPANDING
