Hamlet Extra Credit

One of the best ways to impress your family is to show off what you have been learning during your exciting senior year at Davis Senior High School. With winter break quickly approaching and grandma and grandpa eagerly waiting to spend time with you, why not prepare some Shakespearean drama for their entertainment?

For extra credit, begin memorizing the To Be or Not To Be speech from Hamlet. For one extra-credit point, memorize the opening 14 lines of the speech. For two extra-credit points, memorize the entire speech. Make sure to recite the speech in P-22 before the end of the semester!
