Objective:  I understand what Critical Theory is and can experience what it means to read the same work through different lenses.
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Get out your notebook and divide a new page in ½ separating the top from the bottom; then, split the top ½  down the middle, so you have a space to write on the left and right and a space to write below.
  
• Follow along to the prezi, inspecting the artwork, taking notes on the two sides of your paper as you go through the slides and listen to the songs.  
  
• After the songs, explain how your perspective differed for each.  
  
  • Read the quotes and add to your explanation; then, review the description of critical theory provided concluding by explaining what it means to read through different lenses in your own words.
    
• Receive the Brief Overview of Lenses chart; look at the focus of each lens, and highlight those that are intriguing to you.
  
• Look more closely at the Psychoanalytical lens and the Archetypal lens and take notes on each.  Be starting to think about which you would prefer to read Hamlet through.
  

Exit Task: If you were to choose now, which lens would you use for your book?  Circle it and answer at least one lens question before your next Book Club meeting.
