Standards Support Through Teaching and Learning Cycle
DECIDE AND PLAN
• If students have performed poorly on items matching these standards, then provide selection
scaffolds before assigning them the on-level lesson provided in the Student Edition.
• If students have done well on the Beginning-of-Year Assessment, then challenge them to
keep progressing and learning by giving them opportunities to practice the skills in depth.
• Use the Selection Resources listed on the Planning pages for The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act III
to help students continually improve their ability to master the standards.Instructional Standards: The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act III
