We began our study of Shakespeare's play Hamlet the Prince of Denmark. We took notes and discussed the background and context of several aspects of both Elizabethan England and the setting of the play (11th century Denmark). Students took notes on this (study them -- they may come up in quizzes and tests!).
We read the first two scenes of the play. Students were handed out a set of questions which we, together as a class, began answering.
Homework: students were asked to read the next scene at home (that is, Act 1 scene 3).
We also worked on our grad write-ups and DPA logs. Grad write-ups are due on Friday of this week!
