Learning target: (writing) I can develop claim(s) and counterclaims fairly and thoroughly, supplying the most relevant evidence for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both in a manner that anticipates the audience's knowledge level, concerns, values, and possible biases.
Essential question: How may cultural values impact the facts of a situation?

In class: Act 4, scene 7: Ophelia's death. Class handout / copy below
Act 5, scene 1: Ophelia's grave
Yesterday we learned that Hamlet had returned, sans Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, to Denmark, and that Laertes was determined to fulfill his filial responsibility and exact revenge on Hamlet for having killed his father Polonius. King Claudius, of course, wants Hamlet out of the way. Between these two, what three options for Hamlet's demise do they suggest?
There is a debate of Ophelia's rite to a Christian burial. What is the conflict?
The grave digger notes that there are three branches to an act:
"it is to act, to do, to perform"(11-12). Explain.
From the film: anyone catch the rude gesture?
The grave digger is known as a clown, as he makes jokes.
What does he respond when Hamlet, who the grave digger does not recognize, asks him why Hamlet was sent to England?
Can you explain the joke?
Who was Yorick? What is Hamlet's response?

Please read Gertrude’s speech to Claudius and Laertes, where she
informs them of Ophelia’s death. Weaving
in text, respond to the following in a minimum of 3 well-written sentences. Did
Ophelia commit suicide?
QUEEN Gertrude
There
is a willow grows aslant a brook, That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream; Therewith
fantastic garlands did she make Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples That
liberal shepherds give a grosser name, But
our cold maids do dead men's fingers call them: There,
on the pendent boughs her coronet weeds Clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke;
When down her weedy trophies and herself
Fell
in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide; And,
mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up: Which
time she chanted snatches of old lauds; As
one incapable of her own distress, Or
like a creature native and indued Unto
that element: but long it could not be Till
that her garments, heavy with their drink, Pull'd
the poor wretch from her melodious lay To muddy death.
