AP Lit

Read Hamlet's first soliloquy carefully. Be prepared to present answers to the following question:

How is Hamlet's character revealed through literary devices such as syntax, punctuation, diction, shifts in mood, imagery or symbolism? Be sure to find strong adjectives to describe Hamlet and infer what the literary device offers. It's great to point out the literary device but at this level you must also evaluate its effectiveness.

Great class today.

If you were away, be sure to get the notes. Take good notes during class so that you build your analytical skills and note-taking skills.

Homework: above plus bring the book to class that you are reading for term one's supplemental reading text.
