-We did some more reading of Hamlet during class.
- We watched some movie clips of Hamlet and listened along to the audio version for some of it.
- We critiqued the films.
- I like watching the videos because it helps me create a picture in my head of what is going on in the play.

- we read some short paragraphs and did power points on them talking about diction
- I helped make a slide explaining how the author used apostrophe (repetition)
- We worked in a group on the power point
- I liked working together on the power point. It helped me better understand what diction is

Individual Diction Assignment

1. I understand diction to be the way authors use words to get their points across. They use things like repetition and figurative language to add more depth to their work.
2. I think I understand it. There may be some forms of diction that I am still a bit sketchy on.
