TODAY IN CLASS
We spent some time (verbally) filling in the template "[Title] is about a young man who [ fill in plot/thematic key]."  We did this for Metamorphosis, Frankenstein, Hamlet, and (anticipatory set) Crime and Punishment, with gradual refining of the initial (usually limited) "about" claims.  We also developed the word "Crime" ==> to involve "trans-gressesion" and the Russian source word "over-stepping"--which in turn led to a consideration of the ways in which characters in the various works we have done recently over-stepped boundaries.  With Frankenstein, we extended consideration to "Rime . . ." and PL.

In 1st, I returned the PL "Hymn to Light" summa-phrases, and then students worked on/we went over Hamlet's Act II soliloquy (end of act).  In 3rd and 6th, we jumped directly to the soliloquy (and even treated it more briefly in 6th).  Tomorrow we'll pick up with the Hymn to Light "best practice" samples.

FOR TOMORROW
Actually, beyond tomorrow: 

• Re-read/review study questions of Act IV for Thursday; Act V for Friday.  Obviously you can start now. 
• And why start now?  Because additionally, you need to start reading Crime and Punishment immediately. Get the first third read as soon as you can.  Formal schedule tomorrow.  Know that testing time (released time for seniors) next week is NOT slack time; it's extra late-night reading time!!
