• Review with a partner
• Can you connect them in any ways? Do it.

                 2. Revisiting Theatrical Posters

• Use this notesheet to rethink the posters we speculated about before we began the play. You can get a paper copy from me or save a copy to your Google drive, but you will need a paper copy to use it on the essay test.

• Bring your annotated copy of the whole text and review materials so you can use them as a resource while writing the exam.
• You will have the choice to write on one of two essay topics. I will grade the exam on the following criteria:
• Level of detail- be specific and accurate

• Correctness- spelling (yes, character names), punctuation, grammar usage, UNDERLINING TITLES OF PLAYS 🙄
• Organization of ideas / structure of the paper
• Strength of thesis
• Level of support of thesis (apt observations, use of quotations)

• 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.

• 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?

• 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:
• arrows
• fishbone
• convergence (see also this convergence infographic)
• flow chart (see also flow chart 2)
• tree
• 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.

• In-class group assignment: Director's Notebook for III, 4
• Imagine you are a director who is going to stage III, 4 for a performance. You need to give specific directions to your actors about how you want them to move through the scene and portray their lines. Create two documents for this "Director's Notebook":
1. Set Design Map: On a blank piece of paper, create a set design map for this scene. This means that you will indicate where pieces of furniture will be placed to create the proper environment for the scene directions. 
2. Acting Notes: On the handout of scene 4, make two kinds of notes:
• In red, make notes about how you want each of the four the actors to sound and act when delivering their lines. 
• Then, in blue, make notes on the copy of the scene for the actors about where and when they will move within the scene. Refer to your set design map and stage terminology (DL, UR, C, etc.) [FYI, here is a director's thought process behind a blocking plan for I, 2]
