Please let me know what option you plan to take for the final exam. If you are choosing option 2, please post your group as well.

The week of 4/18-4/22

Be sure that you have read Act IV and completed the Ophelia questions (due on Monday or Tuesday).

Be sure you have read Act V for Wednesday or Thursday.

Have a nice weekend!

Practice for the AP sessions for those taking the exam

• On Monday 4/18, Thursday 4/21 and Monday 5/2, I will offer the opportunity to review for the exam. The review sessions will be after school and in room C246. Before you come to the review session, please acquaint yourself with the structure of the exam. It's also helpful if you have questions that you would like to work with.

Reminders as the Quarter Draws to a close

• The last day to turn in late work for 3rd quarter is April 8,
• The last day of the quarter is April 15,
• Papers and long assignments completed after April 8 will be reflected in quarter 4 averages. This allows students how are ill or absent to complete work, and it allows time for the careful assessment of student work.

Due on 4/4 or 4/5 depending on your class

• "Translate" the soliloquy that you have been assigned. If you are absent choose a soliloquy.
• Think about the question, "What does this soliloquy reveal about Hamlet?"
• Practice Notice and Focus on the soliloquy
• Write your response in the Hamlet log. You should write for 15 minutes.

Next Steps for the Sampling Paper

• On 3/7 or 3/8 (depending on your class) you will have a block to work on the writing of your sampling paper.
• On 3/9 or 3/10 you will bring three copies of one of your sampling pieces. Be sure to include the original quotations on the top of your sampling piece. You will peer review.
• It's sometimes tempting to bring in your strongest sampling piece to peer review, but it's often most helpful to bring in one that you know could use some help.

• The final paper, with all of the pieces complete is due on 3/14 or 3/15 depending on your class.
