4. HAMLET CLOSE READING (Extra Credit for Hamlet Quiz = 5 points):

Go back to the readings we have covered in Hamlet and pick a scene that resonated with you. Reread your notes and then go to the Shakespearean section of the book. Annotate it (Circle words you don’t know, underline important sections and write notes in the margin, use booms, etc.) and then write a 3-5-sentence response to what you’ve read.

Do NOT summarize the reading; instead tell me why it’s important to you, the play, a character, etc.

You must type this assignment and also create an illustration that accompanies this in order to get all 5 points of extra credit.
