This week we continued to watch the play Hamlet. Alot has happen in the
This week we have been reading and watching the story that is Hamlet. We have been comparing songs with the story of Hamlet by comparing it to how Hamlet is feeling in the story. This is my first time learning about the story I heard the name before but not the story. I could have went my whole life without knowing that the story of The Lion King is based off the story of Hamlet.
I have learned how to make a slideshow video and add music to it and I learned everything about The Pardoner's Tale. I learned that making a video and narrating it and everything isn't as complicated as it seems. The Pardoner's Tale has a good moral to it about greed and how its not good to be greedy with everything.
What I have learned this week is that there is a lot of different elements that makes an old English poem.
This week on Monday my teacher came back from taking time off because he had a kid. He welcomed everyone by shaking their hand and telling us his name and we told him ours. No teacher of mine has ever took their time to do that and make the kids feel more welcomed, Well I felt welcomed at least. He is a very straight to the point guy and when he reads he give it emotion and it makes me want to read along with him more than any other teacher just reading it blankly. When I came into this class there was a sub and in my mind I was wondering what my actual teacher is like and I honestly thought he was going to be the same plain ole teacher but hes not.
This week we started to read the book Beowulf and it was a very interesting story about one of the first superheroes. We read the book and did questions when we were done with the sections. There was a cool fire on the screen in the front of the class that set the mood I guess and for me it actually did. I learned that you don't have to a superhuman with amazing powers to be a real hero. To see and realize the hero's journey we watched Star Wars and watched Luke Skywalker's journey to becoming a hero. I knew about the journey before we started learning about it because I payed a lot of attention to the Star Wars movies when I watched them.
