​Objective:  I can read Act III, Scene iv through the psychoanalytical or archetypal lens and share my ideas in a Socratic Seminar to deepen our understanding of Hamlet (SL11-12.1). 
Agenda:  

• Entry Task:  Pick up a copy of Hamlet on the way to sit in the inner or outer circle; you will be in the opposite when we finish the play!  Get out your Socratic Seminar packet.
  • Before reading:  How does Hamlet and Ophelia's relationship seem?
    • What does Hamlet plan to do about Claudius?
    • What are Polonius and Gertrude planning?
  • Listen Act III, scene iv (12:34 min.)
  • After reading:    Review inner and outer circle expectations. Discuss/take notes depending on your role.  
  • Questions to consider if conversation falters:
    • ​Does/did Hamlet love Ophelia?
    • Is Hamlet crazy?
      • ​Who thinks so? Why? 
      • What does he say himself?
      • How does he behave towards different individuals?
    • ​Should Hamlet take revenge?  Why or why not?

Exit Task:  Review and assess your participation and turn in your Socratic Seminar packet last 5-10 min.
