Hamlet Classroom Questions - Amy Farrell
Act One, Scene One
Points to Consider
• Students will understand and follow this scene best if you prepare them by explaining what is about to happen. This lets them follow the storyline more easily and prepares them for the apparition of the Ghost of Old Hamlet.

4.What reason does Horatio give for this strict and most observant watch

5.What do the men decide to do as the scene ends?
