GREEN EGGS AND HAMLET

a) What do you know about Hamlet, the "Melancholy Dane"?

I know that the phrase "to be or not to be" comes from a soliloquy that Hamlet says. Also that he is struggling with his feelings after his father died and his mom married his uncle (his dad's brother).

b) What do you know about Shakespeare?

I Know that he is the author of Romeo and Juliet, he wrote tragic dramas, and that his works are hard to understand.

c) Why do so many students involuntarily frown when they hear the name "Shakespeare"?

Because Shakespeare has a bad reputation with students. When they hear his name, students connotate him with difficult to read plays that are boring. (is it just me?)

d) What can we do to make studying this play an amazing experience we'll never forget?

We can have disscusions to make sure we can understand the text and we can find the way to relate the play with our lifes.
