Three Weeks with Hamlet
For each assignment/viewing, I expect you to keep
a list of characters, make a brief character sketch of each character, note the
setting and any significance you may attach to it, write a brief synopsis of the
plot, and jot down any insights, questions, or observations that occur to you
about this reading.
...At this point,
we will approach Hamlet as a symposium with each of you responsible for seminar
presentations on particular passages/topic. On the day before (by 5 p.m.) your
presentation is due, you are to post your paper on QuickTopic.com as a Document
review and post the link on the class blog

3rd Trimester Overview
I wanted to give you an overview of 3rd Trimester
to assuage some of your fears of the "new week, new text+Friday exam" schedule
that we encountered during 1st Trimester.
This trimester has us encountering 5 major
themes plus a group video project to wrap up the class. This trimester also has
about 1/2 the grades than the 1st trimester. Like first trimester, I will post
the next major theme's schedule and detail a week in advance.
We've got some incredible stories to look at
and talk about and I am looking forward to being back together (with a few
additional faces) in a week and a half.
Good
luck on the end of your 2nd trimester classes!
