Hamlet Task 2

Tonight´s Homework

Tonight read II.i.1-134 and watch this performance of it. When done write one LOG entry for the scene. We´ll start tomorrow´s class by reading them.

Shakespeare Points Anyone?

Someone asked me in class about when Shakespeare wrote Hamlet. It just so happens a book was recently written that describes that year in his life.

If you read it, I will grant you Shakespeare Points. These would be averaged in with the rest of your grades.

Instructions for Hamlet Log

See them here.

If you haven´t already, make sure you understand and can paraphrase every line of your scene. Understanding the bigger picture and figurative language would be outstanding (4-level). I will be checking your understanding. This might be a good time to research your scene and annotate it. I recommend printing out a copy to use in class. This way you will be able to make notes on it.
