Extra Credit Opportunity

If you're interested in an extra credit opportunity (or just a great podcast to listen to as you're driving or flying somewhere over the break)....

Here, you can listen to "Act V" an episode from the radio show This American Life (I'm addicted to it). 
For extra credit, after listening to the podcast, type up answer to the questions below in full sentences--show me that you've listened carefully to the episode and thought about it. 

1.  What sources does Jack Hitt, the documentarian/interviewer, use?  Where/who does he get his information from?

2.  How does Hitt present the information?  What techniques does he use?  (Interviews, with music, playing scenes, etc)?

3.  What is Hitt’s message?  What is his point?  What is he trying to prove or show?

4.  How does Hamlet connect to the prisoners’ lives?

5.  In what ways do some of the issues in Hamlet relate to issues you have faced? 

6.  What is different about listening to this documentary about Hamlet from watching it?
