English 12

Today I handed out a summary of Acts 3 and 4 of the play. In addition, I handed out a list of 21 quotations that need to be studied four our test on Hamlet (which will take place the first week of May).

Students worked for half an hour on either their creative project or their quotation study sheet.

The last half hour was spent on a mini-lesson on Sigmund Freud and, among other things, his belief in the psycho-sexual stages of development. Then we watched a snippet from the Mel Gibson version of Hamlet in which Hamlet's Oedipal complex is not so subtly revealed in his mother's bed-chamber.
