Hamlet

Essay Workshop- I will meet with each of you, but also complete the following steps before finalizing your essay:

CHECK THESIS

Highlight it.
Have you named the attitudes Hamlet has in sol. #1 and sol. #2? Circle them.
Have you identified the devices you discuss in the paper to explain how the attitudes are established or how they shift?

CHECK BODY

Examine each body paragraph to see how it related to the thesis.
Underline words and phrases that relate to the specific ideas in the thesis.
Are there any sections in the body paragraphs that are NOT about the thesis? (Probably have to take it out.)

CHECK QUOTES

Where are you using quotations from the soliloquies?
Does each quotation have explanation, commentary, and connection to the topic of the paragraph and thesis?

CHECK CONCLUSION

Highlight spots in the conclusion that reflect the intro.
Is there a statement in the conclusion that generalizes the thesis ideas overall?
