Homework due Wednesday 2/5
NOTE: Bring your Pre-AP readers this entire week.
Assignment 1 of 5:
Finish paraphrasing lines 64-86 of Hamlet Act I scene ii based on class discussion. Your paraphrases can be in the margin of page 26 in your Pre-AP reader, typed into the Google Classroom document OR on a separate sheet of paper in your notebook.
When paraphrasing, remember to ...
... put the text in your own words by substituting your own words in for the original (ex. "devastated" instead of "unhappy")
... put the text in your own words by rearranging the order of the words in the original sentence (ex. "The cat was chased under the car by the dog" becomes "The dog chased the cat under the car.")
... avoid summarizing the text too generally. If there are 10 lines of dialogue, don't paraphrase them in just 4 lines.
You will have 30-45 minutes of class time to meet up wth your groups and compare your paraphrases before we go over them as a class. Do not come to class with nothing.
Assignment 2 of 5 (Periods 1, 5, and 6):
Study for your quiz on lines 68-86 of Hamlet Act I scene ii. It will be six short-answer questions, meaning each question will require you to write 2-3 sentences for your answer.
You may use your notes on this quiz as long as they are not on your ChromeBook. If you typed up your paraphrases and want to use these notes, you should print them off before coming to class. Students who do not come to class with their materials will NOT be allowed to borrow readers from anyone else and may only use what they remembered to bring.
Assignment 3 of 5:
Watch the clip of Act I scene ii posted to Google Classroom before coming to Wednesday's class. You only need to watch the first 1:15 of the 8:00 clip.

Pay attention to how the actors playing Claudius, Gertrude and Hamlet deliver their lines. What words or phrases do they emphasize? Consider how emphasizing those same specific words (or different ones) can help you communicate what your character is feeling in the scene.

Choose a book to read for your IRP and get your book approved on/by Friday, February 28th. Your IRP approval worksheet should be completed on/by Friday, February 28th too and should be turned in to me.
