I changed plans . . . you will have some time in class to complete the Frankenstein/PL writing. If you'd like to finish it tonight, and just work on Hamlet tomorrow, that's fine. But you are not compelled to do so. The part that IS essential is that you've read Rime of the Ancient Mariner. If you printed it out in the first place, bring it. If you DIDN'T, then read the question tonight (Part II, question 1), and write down just a few pieces of evidence from the poem that you will incorporate into the paragraph.
TODAY IN CLASS
Really varied depending on the questions/directions of each class. But these are good "take-aways" for everyone:
1) you should remember and recognize the two very famous passages late in your Book I excerpt (252-255 and 259-263)
2) you should know/understand the term epic simile, be able to follow the details of the examples from PL, and be prepared to recognize and "unpack" epic similes you might encounter in the future.
3) you should be well aware of Satan's feelings as he spied on Adam and Eve
4) make sure that you've not forgotten to read the short bits of material you have from books 4, 9, and 10.
The parting of the Red Sea (the last epic simile on your hand-out):

Notice that this is from this past September; I'm sure that I first read about this theory several years earlier. However, this seems to provide a cogent explanation.
FOR TOMORROW
Except for period 1 (which did this in class), do Part I (appropriate circles, plus bulleted argument, on the back) BEFORE class tomorrow.
Do whatever prep work you need to for the Rime question (Part II, question 1).
Bring Frank. with you for Part II, question 2.
