Please try to remember to bring your yellow-green Nortons with you (Vol. III-VI).
We will begin class with a couple of Irish myths. Then I will direct you to a couple of poems by William Butler Yeats--poems that contain literary allusions to those myths. Remember, you are to employ allusions (I said Classical or Biblical but have approved other mythologies--like Norse--as well) in your Infernos.
We will get decked out, dressed up, and armed with plastic swords to read and perform, "Hamlet."
Homework: If we do not finish Act I in "Hamlet," you are to do it for homework.
Wednesday / Thursday:
Again, have your Nortons with you. We will perform and discuss Act II. We may get to see a scene or two from Kenneth Branaugh's 1996 version of "Hamlet."
Homework: Continue to work on Infernos and do vocabulary chapter 14 for Friday.
Friday:
Check vocabulary. Go over. Remember, your Infernos are due M-F next week. If you are going out of the state, country, or planet, then you need to have had it in my hands by today. Bon Voyage! :)
