Get the notes on Act 2, Scene 2, and Hamlet's 3rd soliloquy.
Tonight: Annotate the to be or not to be soliloquy. Look for diction, tone, shifts, imagery, and be prepared to discuss your insights in context with the first two Acts. How has Hamlet changed? What is he talking about? Every time you have an idea, tie it back to something we have already looked at. Marks awarded for intriguing connections.
Take risks.
Predict. Connect. Look up allusions. Read what other people have to say, but always rely on your own interpretation as you have the text right in front of you.
Go beyond what it says. Discuss what it means.
You will be presenting your findings to the class and then we'll watch Act 3. The nunnery and bedroom scenes are fabulous.
After school tomorrow is the multiple choice test.
