AP Hamlet To Be or Not To Be Deep Dive Soliloquy Study
The best way to get students to understand pre 20th Century texts is to get them to take a look at Shakespeare, and what better Shakespeare than his most famous "To Be or Not To Be" soliloquy?

Broken into five parts, students will forget that they are engaged in scholarly questions as they learn to own Shakespeare's words.This lesson comprehensively covers the text through a

Analyzing Macbeth's "The Porter Scene"
"The Porter Scene" in Macbeth can be analyzed beyond mere comic relief. I have employed an excerpt from On the Knocking At the Gate In Macbeth by Thomas DeQuincey that appears in several high school textbooks, identified two key quotations, and used these quotations as a springboard for students to Close-Read and to apply a Personal Response critical lens to this scene. I recommend this in-class discussion as a group post-reading activity or a pre-writing brainstorm.

Some students even use these for research paper projects. This is single page,
