ELA B30: June 7 Hamlet acting and the play within the play…
- We began the class today with two students acting out a scene we read through yesterday. (Yesterday, the students were near dead-like so they would not try acting it out. Today, they had a bit more life in them!)
- We continued with the reading and have learned that Claudius feels remore and guilt over his actions of killing his brother and admitted, to himself only, that he did it out of greed over his brother’s wife, Gertrude. We also understand that Hamlet feels like life is nothing but then admits all he is doing it putting off his act.
- We noticed several usable quotes for the essay they may have to write so we wrote them on the board for students to add them to their list of quotes.
