Watch Hamlet

Friday, February 3, 2016:

Act 4 quiz Friday: 10-15 quote identification questions - no fill in the blank plot questions.

Personal Insight Paper Proposal Due on Friday (3 points - no late proposals accepted unless due to illness): Must be typed and should fill a page (12 point font, Times New Roman, 1" margins). Some questions you should consider: What do you plan on writing about? What is your point of view on the subject? What angle can you bring to it which is personal in terms of your thinking and/or life experience?  Include portions of one or two key quotes which are connected to your paper's topic and briefly explain your response to them in relation to your topic? Basically, you are thinking out loud - well, on paper - about an idea or insight about life sparked by your reading of Hamlet and something going on in your life or in the world around you which is really on your mind.  Find a meaningful topic in your life - stress, ambition, betrayal, dishonesty, trust issues, difficulty with decision-making, grief, relationships with friends, boyfriend/girlfriend/parents, depression, the afterlife, etc - and chances are this play has something to say about it.  Consider using both your annotations and the internet to find Hamlet quotes which speak to your issue.
