Christmas Break Reading Assignments

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
In the spirit of giving...

2D1
-read Act III, scenes i, ii and iii and answer the questions in your Macbeth question package

3C1
-finish reading chapter 5 of West Side Story
-answer all the questions up to and including chapter 4 (there are no questions for chapter 5, just read it) 

Check back after New Years for some answers and hints to these questions for both classes!

I'm assuming this is all done for January 6th
