Wednesday

  • Hamlet
    • Discussion / class performance of V, 2 199-end
    • Viewing of Zeffirelli version, Act V (1:44 - end, about 30 minutes) and this version for fun 😊
    • We will review the play on Friday for the exam
    • HW due Fri. 3/29/19: Create a diagram that shows the cause / effect for each death in Hamlet by tracing each back as far as you can to its source(s). 
      • Consider that there will be more than one cause and some may be intangible, such as greed or love or grief. 
      • There are different ways to show cause/effect relationships, so choose the one that makes the most sense to you. Here are some starting points:
      • Do not use sentences or paragraphs on the diagram-- just words and phrases. 
      • Keep in mind that this is a tool, not an art project. You can color code if that helps you, but spend more time on adding ideas and details than glitter. 
      • Here is an example for the death of Old Hamlet. You need to map out causes for the deaths for:  Polonius, Ophelia, Rosencrantz/Guildenstern, Laertes, Gertrude, Claudius, Hamlet.
    • Tues. 4/2/19: Hamlet essay test. Bring your annotated copy of the whole text so you can use it as a resource while writing the exam. You can also use your review materials.
  • Next Unit(s) of Study
    • The remainder of the semester will focus on two things: AP Exam practice and a research paper. We will mostly do the AP test practice in class and the research paper outside of class. The research paper will deal with a topic that you want to explore that is connected to your future, so begin thinking about a research question you would like to answer for yourself. Here are some examples:
      • What is the difference between two given degrees?
      • What majors are best if I want to be a ___?
      • What is the beginning to end process to become a ___?
      • How do the degrees at different universities compare?
      • What is the process for purchasing a house?
      • What are important considerations for applying to graduate school? How is graduate school different from undergraduate school?
