Writing Assignment

Students, you need to take a stance on whether or not you believe Hamlet will become the King of Denmark? Tell my why you think so, is he ambitious enough or does he simply worry over things he cannot control? If you were Hamlet, would you feel angry/content/unhappy with the events that have happened in your life?
I want you to also comment on the blogs of your fellow classmates. Do not just say, "Oh yes, I agree with Bill." Tell me, "Yes Bill I agree on page 45 line 23, Hamlet really shows he is angry with his lot in life. You are exactly right!" Give me details on your opinion and whether or not you agree with your classmates. Be respectful and use appropriate language. Everyone is entitled to their opinion!

"eggcorn" words

There are many times where our ear hears something, while it should be pronounced differently.
For example, one might think that it is accepted to say "chester drawer" when in reality it should be said, "chest of drawers." This is an example of a euphanism. It is important to pay close attention to spelling and pronunciation especially with more difficult texts such as, "Hamlet." One mistake I have made was "ease drop." The correct spelling is "eaves drop" which means to overhear. Name an example of an "eggcorn" word you have used or that you have heard someone else say.

Introduction

Hello Students,
Here is our blog for the Shakespearian play, "Hamlet." I expect these discussions to be educational while using school appropriate language. We're all adults here so let's act like it. This blog will help you gain understanding of the text and other literary elements. It will give you a chance to voice your own opinions as well as hear the opinions of your classmates. This will be fun, I promise!
