This Wed. will NOT be the novel essay due to a delay in actually reading the novels.
This WED after school will be a multiple choice test. The first section is a poem and some hard questions. Skip hard questions so that you can stay calm. Continue reading. The key during this section is not to lose control. Stay focused. Read and re-read the selection as often as needed.
If you were absent today, we finished reading Act 1, took notes, and started reading Act 2, and we took notes. Tonight, read Act 2, Scene 2. It is quite long and most of it is plot based but there is a key scene where Hamlet lets Rosencrantz and Guildenstern know how he feels. The scene with Polonius is filled with sexual references. Use No Fear Shakespeare for those parts of the scene which are difficult.
Look for images that supplement themes originated in Act 1. The entire play continues to loop back to the first line: Who's there?
We will be watching parts of the film tomorrow. Act 3 is amazing!! Lucky you.
