Last School Day of April

Today we read more of Act 5 Scene 1 after reading out our Advice and To Be or Not To Be write ups. We also saw the presentation on The Effects of Divorce On Children. The homework is to finish reading Act 5 Scene 1, but do not do the questions, for we will do them in class. We have an Act 4 quotes quiz on Tuesday as well. Have a good weekend!

Hump Day

Playception

Today we finished reading Act 3 Scene 2, where the play had a play played within an already playing play. That's a mouthful.

The Days Are Blending Together...

Today we watched Act 1 of Hamlet, and started on Act 2.

For Monday, we have a quiz on quotes from Act 1, so you should probably familiarize yourself with that.

Thursday felt like Friday

Hamlet's a Go

Because April is the big 4-double-0 of Shakespeare's anniversary (he was born and died on April 23rd), I will waste no time getting into Hamlet on Monday.
Thus, I have put together a fancy powerpoint for review in preparation of the exam on Wednesday.

You are Welcome!
