Today, we finished reading Hamlet. I have put a test prep. sheet in your portfolios.
The rest of the classes before the holidays will proceed as follows:

You will write a comprehension exam tomorrow (Wednesday)
You will view the feature film Hamlet, with Mel Gibson (Thurs., Fri., and Mon.)
You will get a day to work on your essay cheat sheet (Tues.)
You will write an in-class essay on Wed (the 21st).

The questions for the essay were provided yesterday (see blog or portfolio).
The test prep. information is posted below:

Hamlet

Test Prep: 2016

Questions 1-35            True/False statements that tie to the plot of the play. If you know it, you

                                    will do fine (Trivia).

Questions 36-88          Multiple choice: complete the sentence provided. These also are

                                    examining how well you know the play (Trivia).

Questions 89-92          Matching characters to quotes: You will have to actively examine four       

quotes and then determine which character (provided) stated each one. Process of elimination works for this.

Questions 93-97          Matching WHO IS BEING DESCRIBED to quotes. Students mess this

                                    one up because they don’t read the instructions. It is NOT who is saying it

                                    but who is being described that matters. Process of elimination works for

                                    this.

Questions 37-44          Active reading of an excerpt from a play and multiple choice questions to

(98-105)                      examine understanding. You will get a dictionary. Read as actively as time

allows. Use process of elimination on these questions.
