I was home sick on Monday 3/15, so here is the update for both Monday and Tuesday.
Freshmen:
3/15- Book talks, new vocabulary, reviewed notes on Epics and began The Odyssey.
3/16- Book talks, recapped the reading from yesterday, began the story of the Cyclops.
AP Lit:
3/15- New vocabulary, then reviewed/ discussed some Hamlet with the sub. (Who apparently REALLY loves Shakespeare...)
3/16- After a few soliloquy recitations, we discussed a few issues: Is Ophelia's death an accident or a suicide? Why didn't the queen do anything to stop her? Why does Gertrude continue to defend Claudius? How awesomely manipulative is Claudius? How does Laertes contrast Hamlet? And, why does Hamlet tell Claudius he's home? Then we read the first page of 5.1 with the gravedigger clowns...
HW: Have the soliloquy memorized by Friday. Before, if you aren't going to be here.
