Today's agenda: please copy all notes in red

STEPS TO BREAKING DOWN SHAKESPEARE
1. Look for any words that are shortened or not "modern" and see if you can determine what they are.
2. Look for any nouns that you recognize or try to figure them out using prior knowledge.
3. Look at the verbs and see if you know what they mean.
4.Circle or square words you do not know/can't figure out
5. Put the sentence together to get some meaning. (I think he's saying something like....)
6. Put an ! for important information
7. Put a ? next to things that confuse you

*Now we will pick up with the reading on page 9 (the ghost has come back a second time at this point), paying special attention to Claudius's monologue (remember dramatic monologue from "My Last Duchess"?)*Begin annotating our copy of the monologue and work on "breaking up a text"
answer the summarizing questions
*Watch the video clip
