Day 3 HAMLET

Do Now: "We read to reflect and to be reflected. You can make of the play Hamlet and the protagonist pretty much what you will, whether you are playgoer or reader, critic or director, actor or ideologue; push any stance or quest into it and the drama will illuminate what you have brought with you." -Harold Bloom

Revisit the brief discussion from the end of Friday's class. What "stance or quest" will you bring with you to your reading of the play?

1. Character Maps
2. I.i
3. Horatio's speech
4. Exit Ticket: What is happening in Denmark?

HW: PS3 journals due 25 November. When submitting your TP1 final drafts (online or hard copy), please also hand back the rubric and marked-up draft.
