Shakespeare Again!!!!

It's time to delve into the depths of Shakespeare once more. Hamlet (in my opinion) is the single play that no high school student should leave high school without reading. It's got highs and lows, murder and intrigue, lost love, and madness. It was a blockbuster ahead of it's time. It is also a key piece to gearing up for the AP exam in May. If you think about it, there are many movies based on the play. If you've seen The Lion King, then you've seen the Disney version of Hamlet. We of course, will be looking at it on a deeper level than Disney did, but you can see many of the themes. You will be reading the play and answering questions before we discuss the play in class, so I would keep up with the reading and not fall behind. It is not fun to do a complete act the night before it is due. I can't wait to see what you all have to say about it as we read through it.
