After opening class by sharing our "choice nuggets of wisdom" from our notebooks, we went on to realize that Mr. Laz forgot to give us our reading assignment. So instead of discussing the beginning of Act II, we got to read it together. Although we didn't get very far, we learned a lot about a few key characters- Polonius, in particular. By requesting that Reynaldo (a servant) spies on his son Laertes at school, Polonius reveals that reputation means EVERYTHING to him. It also led us to the question of just how far he will go to do what he thinks has to be done. Lastly, we learn a very important lesson from Polonius. When he says "Your bait of falsehood take this carp of truth," Polonius teaches us the lesson that if you put out lies, the truth will come back and reveal itself. For tomorrow, we need to finish Act II Scene i and begin Act II Scene ii.
