The quiz will be tomorrow...with a possible bonus quiz on Act 5, scene 1.  Yay!!

Act 5, scene 1: Today we read about people in graveyard and get their reactions to death in general and, specifically, to Ophelia's death.

Reflections range from ironic and funny to depressed and angry, and they reflect on both the physical effect of death and its spiritual and psychological implications.

Left hand column                  Right Hand Column
Lyrics from song                   Quotes from Hamlet
(and artist and song title)


HW:  (10 points completions grade - typed as either a paragraph or double entry journal) Find 3 more connection to Hamlet... a combination of either literary (poems/novels/short stories, etc) or musical connections (lyrics) that you feel relate to some theme in Hamlet that personally resonates with you, perhaps touching a topic you might write about.  Identify the song and artist, share a key stanza, a related quote from Hamlet, and a brief explanation of the connection you see.  Again, you can do this double-column entry style (Lyrics in left hand column/ Hamlet lines and explanation of connection in the right hand column) or in another format, just make sure that you provide all of the requested content.

Tomorrow we will share some of our group connections with one other group and watch Act 3.  

Thursday: We will have a 30 question/30 point quiz on Act 3:  You need to know the plot characters and be able to identify who spoke certain original lines in the play
