Objective:  I can practice "reading" through both the psychoanalytical lens and the archetypal lens to have a better understanding of which fits my interests in order to select my lens for reading Hamlet (RL11-12.7). 
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Get out annotated Multiple Choice and answer the next question.  Be prepared to be called on and give your reasoning for your answer. 
  
• Review your notes on what it means to read through a critical lens from the prezi.
  
• Review the Psychoanalytical Lens and the Archetypal Lens handouts and questions for each from the Brief Overview of Lenses  
  
• Follow along to the prezi directions from slide 24.
  
  • If you are on the left side of the room, read the poem “Musee Des Beaux Arts” by W.H. Auden using the psychological lens.
    
  • If you are on the right side of the room, read the picture The Fall of Icarus by Pieter Bruegel using the psychological lens.
    
• Meet in the middle with a partner, discuss then switch sides.
  
• Now, read the opposite of what you read before through the archetypal lens.
  
• Select a partner near you and share your insights thus far.
  
  • See the Shmoop analysis--which of your lenses got you close to what is discussed here or gave you ideas you found interesting?
    
• Watch the Hamlet Crash Course video in the prezi and consider which lens aspects you find most interesting. 
  

Exit Task:  What is critical theory?  What stood out to you for the psychological? The archetypal?  Which did you select? Why? Do you feel this was an effective way to be introduced to the idea of critical theory and select your lens?
