__What Did You Say? Book of Unusual Words in //Macbeth//__ Shakespeare is given credit for “inventing” many words of the English language mostly because he was the first to use them in print. Some of the words that he made up ("assassination" and "downstairs," for example) are commonly used today. Others aren't as familiar, and were probably truly "nonsense" when Shakespeare wrote them. This activity will help you focus on some of his stranger words and will help you come up with your own understanding of them.
 * Assignment #2:**

You will make a dictionary of ten unusual words. For each word do the following. 1. Write down the unusual word, the sentence it is in (make sure to include Act, Scene, and Line numbers), and who says it. 2. Make up a definition for the word (looking in the dictionary isn’t allowed) based on how it’s used, how it sounds, and its familiarity to words you do know. 3. Draw a picture of the word that incorporates your idea of its meaning and how it is used in the play. 4. Make up an example sentence of your own that uses the word.

When completed, your dictionary must have a cover and a title.
