*Most students came to class with their novels ready to go...
We looked at a speech from Shakespeare's Hamlet - Act 2, Scene 2 - and then compared the lyrics to "What a Piece of Work is Man" from the Broadway musical Hair (briefly talked about the ways in which literature alludes to, and makes use of, previous works of literature/art to comment on its own era...)
Students read their personal novels
Students received a set of vocabulary words, and were asked to fill out the 6 definitions from memory (as homework was to re-read the text, and familiarize themselves with the language). Many students found that their stated desire to increase their vocabulary is not yet matched by their homework choices...
We did a physical activity to get our heart rates up - then considered what this could mean in relation to the work at hand.
Students had a few minutes to begin questions 1-7 on the first side of the sheet - These are for homework, and students should also continue to bring their novels to class.
