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 1/2 and then split that 1/2 down the middle, so you have a space to write on the left and right an a space to write below.
• Follow along to the prezi, listening to the artwork and taking notes on the two side of your paper as you go through the slides and listen to the songs.  
• After the songs, explain how your perspective different 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 differing lenses in your own words.
• Receive the Brief Overview of Lenses chart; look at the lens at a glance, 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.
