Hamlet I.v and II.i (E10 4B)

Shakespeare is challenging! But it will gradually begin to make sense -- STICK WITH IT!!!



Warm Up:

Take the first seven minutes of today's class to work with a partner and peer review a fellow student's rough draft.

---

ACT I QFR CHARTS were due for submission during today's class!

If you missed today's class, please submit your QFR chart upon your return.

Completed QFR charts will be returned at the beginning of our next class. DON'T LOSE THEM!

Remember: Each QFR chart is a major assessment grade that is worth up to 20 points.

You will need to type the information they contain into one, giant QFR chart for submission at the conclusion of the play.

IF YOU LOSE A QFR CHART, YOU *ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE* FOR INCLUDING ANY LOST INFORMATION INTO YOUR QFR CHART AT THE END OF THE PLAY.
