Hamlet Reading Assignment and Links
Tonight's reading assignment is to read Act I, Scenes i-ii, and complete a log entry reflecting on the scenes. To access the play online, visit http://bit.ly/134blCn or http://bit.ly/Wa0wr5 . The play can be read online for free at these sites. Because Shakespeare's work is in the public domain, there are multiple apps for all platforms by which you can access his works. Here are a small sample of available apps/ downloads: Project Gutenberg and PlayShakespeare.com offer the play for free download to any e-reader. PlayShakespeare also has a library of podcasts and video performances of scenes to help you with your understanding. The Shakespeare app is available for IPhone, IPod Touch, and Android platforms. It is free, and offers all of Shakespeare's works as well as glossaries for unfamiliar words. For Android, the Shakespeare app is in beta, and there is also a second app that (imho) is not as attractive or as easy to use as the original Shakespeare .
