Today, I reminded students of their Wednesday, 4:30 pm deadline for their independent novel studies.
I then went on you introduce Hamlet. If you were not here, you need to get the play from the library.
I gave an overview of Feudalism, the religious uproar of the times, the types of entertainment available and then attempted to show why plays were seen as such a valuable escape from reality.
I then gave an overview of the play from the character's to the reasons Hamlet is unhappy to the goal or desired outcome.
I really want to stress that this is not a time to be missing ANY English class. We will be racing through this play and I will explain it as we go; however, missing it means serious confusion for most. If you miss class, you will have to do questions to demonstrate understanding.
