TODAY IN CLASS
Pairs work/some presentations of brief interchange between Claudius and Laertes, then the beginning of Claudius and Hamlet (Act 1, Scene 2)
In 1st, we got started on the "agenda speech" hand-out.

FOR TOMOROW
Everyone finish the bullet points for the second long speech by Claudius:  this starts at line 90 (morning classes) or line 87 (afternoon classes). Don't try to paraphrase the whole speech, but write down the 6-7 most important points he makes.

Then it varies--
1st--we started the first speech; we'll continue in class
3rd-did not even give you the hand-out
5th--yes, I told you (and it still stands) to annotate it as best you can. Look for specifics of diction, word order, special "surprises," things that you don't understand, even after checking the notes on the left-hand side of the book. (Don't worry, on other days other classes will have assignments different from yours.
