Reading Log for Act 3 of Hamlet.
Must choose TWO options. Be sure to choose different options from Act 1.
Suggestion: At the bottom of the Act 3 Activities handout, "Extending your Response", the prompt directs you to advise Ophelia.
That would work well for the Reading Log as one option is to "talk to a character".
We will NOT be doing the Extending Your Response for Act 3 as a class, so that is why I am suggesting it for your reading log for Act 3. But of course it is optional and only if you did choose that option for Act 1.
Also, EXTRA CREDIT for the musical Mary Poppins is due Friday.
Attached is the extra credit information again.
