Freshmen:
Woo-hoo! Oaks Reading testing is done (for most of you). We'll meet up next week and start talking about the Greeks. Be ready.
HW: Feel free to keep reading your SSR book. Follow this link, or click on the link to your left for the instructions for Book Project #3: The Book Talk.
AP Lit:
While you took Vocabulary Quiz #2, I checked and gave you credit for Hamlet study guide #2. Then, we talked about 1.5.
HW: Look back through Act 1 and begin compiling notes on the motifs and themes listed below. Your notes should include a brief description/explanation of how we see the theme and/or the lines/phrases that include the motif. Don't forget to include page numbers and line numbers.
Motifs:
rot/decay
poison/contamination
actors/acting
heaven/hell
gardens/plants
Themes:
Appearance vs. Reality ("Seems, madam. Nay, it is. I know not seems...")
Action vs. Inaction
The Impossibility of Certainty (even death itself is uncertain, isn't it?)
