Hamlet

The 11th grade steeped themselves in the study of tragedy and questioned whether such sorrowful events could have been avoided. The intricate plot of Hamlet contains almost a dozen deaths, and the students backtracked to rewrite the play, suggesting that certain actions could have saved almost all of those lives. They saw the depth of emotion both in this play, and in the poetic works of Edgar Allan Poe, who seemed to continually pine for his lost love. As they read the poetry they saw how very carefully crafted it was; even the number of syllables is important, and the number of times a phrase mentioned, symbolic!
