6. NOTES 2. pun= a a. Example “son/sun”: If a mother were to write a poem and say “you are my son who brings light to my life”, she could also mean “sun”, thus helping the readers to understand how the speaker views his/her “son”—as the center and the light of her world. b. Example: “Brake/break” One advertisement on the back of British busses reads “thanks for the brake” (which can also be read as “break” from walking or driving.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRBMPvOk_oU&featu re=related

12. HAMLET PARTS Now, let’s pick parts for Hamlet!!! Before picking parts, be aware of the following: 1. If everyone willingly participates in reading Hamlet with enthusiasm and drama, we may skip reading the last act and instead watch the movie. 2. I’ll volunteer to play Hamlet (even experienced readers tire with this part).

13. HOMEWORK Make sure you have read and taken notes on the “Shakespeare’s Life” handout and take notes (2-3 bullet points) on each paragraph.
