AGENDA 12/10

Finish acting out Hamlet V.ii

Share your intended monologues and dialogues for next week's final exam. Here's the lineup so you can see when you are scheduled to perform and if another group is doing the same (or a similar) scene. For those of you who haven't signed up yet, please do!

HW: Finish journal entries, foldables, and begin rehearsing for next week's final exam performances. Remember to think about the suggestion of a costume--even if you borrow my props, you'll need to add something to your character!
