Biography Project Begins

Students are asked to sign out a biography before February vacation and have 3 - 4 weeks to complete reading it. A biography read for this course should meet one of three criteria: (1)focus on a person from a different time period (2) focus on a person from a different place or who travels to a different place (3) focus on a person from a different culture.

One way to find a biography you might be interested in is to think of an interest, a place, or a person who interests you and then search for that topic (include the word biography in your search) at Amazon.com

Hamlet Question paper

This essay, due before February vacation, should be based on one of the unanswered questions presented by the play (Why does Hamlet wait so long to kill Claudius? Does Hamlet love Ophelia? How much did the Queen know about King Hamlet's death). An interesting and helpful Hamlet site is at http://www.pathguy.com/hamlet.htm
