Reader's Notebook
Reader's Notebook
I have a couple model examples from past years in my room for you to look at, with this piece of caution: try not to look too closely, as many of the notebooks contain spoilers, as part of your job in this notebook is to go back and reflect on your own notes as you go along further in the play. I think the easiest way to accomplish this assignment is in a hand-written notebook, but you can convince me otherwise.
Optional Assignments:
1. A small group (no more than 4) can create a 30 - 40 minute documentary. You will explore our class studying Hamlet, and as such, the documentary should provide sophisticated analysis about the play, as well as develop a narrative. You are responsible for gathering footage. If there is something specific you want in your footage, please plan accordingly so that it can happen for you. Otherwise, I will run the class to expediently roll through the play.
