TODAY IN CLASS
I stamped your written progress on the Act 1 questions.  The expectation for today:  completion through question 9 (1-3 from the end of Scene 2, plus 4-9 from Scene 3).  Some of you got to 9 by skipping 7--that's not a full credit option . . . You can "buy back" partial credit for items not done by having them completed for tomorrow (in addition to the new work for tomorrow--see below).

Then--we talked briefly about Scene 3; we might have overlapped a couple of the questions, but we didn't answer them all.  We especially didn't talk about the complicated word play on the word "tender" (and "fool"), and we did not list out the specific advice Polonius gives.

Next--I switched to the Kenneth Branagh version of Hamlet for the ghost scene, and we watched Scenes 4 and 5.

FOR TOMORROW
Write out answers to questions 10-22 on these two scenes.  I will collect the papers (your answers--YOU keep the questions, so don't staple in advance) at the BEGINNING of class tomorrow.  We might say a couple of general things about the act, but mostly, in class, we are going to move on with Act II.  And tomorrow will feature little or no film and lots of student involvement.

You don't need to read ahead in Act II for Friday, though--as stated above, the homework is to finish the questions.
