Hamlet and the players
Learning targets: I can cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.
I can determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, including words with multiple meanings or language that is particularly fresh, engaging, or beautiful.
In class today: Please turn in your graphic organizers and your essays. If you sent yours to me, I will be printing them out and returning a hard copy.
Take out your Hamlet text and your notebooks.
