The Play Is the Thing: April 20, 2018

Focus: What background information do we need to understand R & G are dead?

1. Warming up: So what do you already know about Hamlet? A crossword challenge for you!
2. Watching the first Act of Hamlet and taking a few notes on the basics:
  • Who/what/when/where? In other words, who are the main characters, what do they do, when does the play take place, and where are they?
  • What are the central conflicts on the rise in Act 1?
  • A tricky question: Where are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern for most of the play?

Also, feel free to fill in the blank squares on your crossword as you watch.

HW:
Continue drafting your culminating essay. You have a little over one week left, and there will not be time to revise. Make your final draft a true final draft, and one that you're proud of.

Final draft due Thursday, April 26 by 3:00 pm.
