We had a "cozy reading day" to celebrate the change in weather. We sat on blankets during class, drank hot chocolate, and read Hamlet together.
Class A read up through page 75.
Class B read up through page 93.
In considering the account of the King's murder, we noted that the situation echoed the fall of Adam. The murder took place in a garden, specifically in an orchard (with apples or fruit). It was reported that a snake poisoned the King. The uncle supposedly poured poison into his ears, just as Lucifer poured poisonous words into Adam and Eve's ears. Students will be watching for references to the fall of Adam throughout the play.
Homework: Fire in the Bones reading log #2 (up through page 47) is due on Monday. Students should also compose a poem based on their brainstorming about da Vinci's Last Supper.
