"Wrapping Up Hamlet"Week

TODAY IN CLASS
1. Very short Act IV quiz. (both classes)
2. Returned and went over Act II quiz (2nd)
3. Picked up in Act V as the mourners arrive at the cemetery (4th)

FOR TOMORROW
Be absolutely certain that you have read to the end of the play.  We will focus on Act V issues early in the class period, and raise some broader questions during the latter part of the class.

WEDNESDAY: 
An objective test with ONE short writing question (probably bulleted, in fact)--more "factual" than "interpretive."
You will also receive the essay question on this day so that anyone who will be gone over break will have some time to think through this instead of being hit on the Monday you return.  Note the due date below.

THURSDAY:
A 30-minute essay question [or 2 shorter ones] (closed book)
Time to start work on out-of-class essay

FRIDAY:
Work time for the essay.

THE WEEK AFTER BREAK
The first draft will be due by Wednesday.  In-class peer response on that day. 
Final Draft:  Due on Friday, April 15.
