Wednesday, October 19th, 2016 Hamlet Review Activity

Wednesday, October 19th, 2016

Learning Targets: 

I can determine two or more themes or central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to produce a complex account; provide an objective summary of the text.

I can demonstrate my familiarity with the text by responding to prompts, solidifying my understanding of the material. 

Good Afternoon! Please be seated. 

I will collect any graphic organizers that are complete. The most recent graphic organizer was on Ophelia's burial and Claudius' request to Hamlet (see below).

Name_______________________  Ophelia’s burial and Claudius’ request to Hamlet

1.       What is the First Clown’s argument that Ophelia could not have committed suicide? (TEXT V.i.18-21)

2.       Whose skull does Hamlet discover in the graveyard and what was their relationship? Read through the following (V.i.185-88) and write one sentence that weaves in text.


3.       What does Hamlet publically declare at Ophelia’s gravesite? TEXT V.I.271-73).

4.       Ostric is the new Polonius (notice what a sycophant he is), and he has a request for Hamlet from King Claudius? What has the king wagered that Hamlet will be able to trump Laertes? TEXT V.ii.166-170



5.       What is Hamlet’s response to Claudius’ request? TEXT V.ii.177


6.       Horatio is concerned for HAMLET, but Hamlet assures his friend he has been practicing. Even so, Hamlet is cognizant that he might lose and says:
     …   we defy augury: there's a special
providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now,
'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the
readiness is all (V.ii.220-224)


Paraphrase (put into your own words) what Hamlet has said. 










Today, since we only have a short period, we're going to have a Hamlet Review activity.

I'll be distributing a handout for you all to complete, and then we can go over the answers together.  


Don't forget to keep studying your vocabulary terms for the quiz this Friday!
