For the ill and the absent-minded -

Here, you will find a very brief summary of class discussions and activities, lists of assigned readings, and links to other resources. The posts are reminders of what we covered in class and/or of what you missed by being absent physically and/or mentally. If we are required to work remotely, the posts will give directions for the day's activities, and let you know when we will meet via Google Meets. Please read the posts, talk with your classmates, and do the practise work as it suits the timing at home. Please put all work in your digital folders via Google Drive. Feel free to make comments and if you're still confused, please email me!

(NB: I do not condone class absences - you must be present, in class, actively listening and participating whenever possible. Always communicate your absences with the school office as well as with me. It is your responsibility to make arrangements for missed learning opportunities. You MUST meet all assignment deadlines. If we have to meet via Google Meets, please make a note of the QR link posted in Room 205 for the meeting id and passwords.)

F - ... when we wrapped things up with the motifs in Hamlet.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Are the mighty opposites that exist in Shakespeare's play really so different from the ones we observe in this century?

 The Act IV group finally presented their choral performance of a soliloquy. We discussed catharsis in at the end of Act IV (for Claudius and for Ophelia), and recalled the motifs of the play with particular attention to Hamlet's "mighty opposites" in Act V.

Learners changed groups and shared their person connections to the motifs from the play.

We read together and shared opening impressions or remembrances from last class with regard to Yeats's "The Second Coming."

PRACTISE: Bring in a physical representation of your interpretation of one of the motifs from Hamlet.

NEXT CLASS: Yeats, Hamnet (2026)
