FRIDAY IN CLASS
Students received a soliloquy to read, paraphrase (broadly, but accurately), and annotate; the purpose was to show trace the thinking/attitude/emotions of the speaker at that point in the play.  After individual time, people worked in groups to compare findings and prepare for a brief, to-the-point presentation.  Only one got presented ("O that this too too sullied/sallied/solid flesh would melt . . . .").  Remaining groups will present on Tuesday.

If you were absent on Friday, prepare this one:
Soliloquy if you were absent

Yes, others have done this, but it's one worth doubling up on.  The challenge for you working at home, though, is that you need to do it with the text linked above.  Nothing else.  Not sure for that one there's even any need to look up allusions.

FOR MONDAY
Have a draft of your comparison/contrast paper.  I expect that substantial revisions will be necessary for most of you.  That's okay.  Learning to do deep revisions (and then one final one for style improvements) is a key necessity for good writing, whatever your future major.  So get the hardest part, draft #1, done and with you in class tomorrow!

It is the only day for which class time will be devoted to peer response.  However, EVERYONE will be required to do/receive feedback from one of my AP Lit and Comp students as part of this assignment. (Parents, older siblings, friends in other classes, etc., do not count.)
