Today we had a substitute teacher, Mr. Rosenberg.

When class began, we immediately continued reading Hamlet. We read from Act 5 scene 2, up until the end of the book.

After finishing reading Hamlet, we watched the final scenes from Act 5 in the Branaugh version of the movie. We did not end up having time to watch scenes from the Oliver or Gibson versions of the movie.
