1.) Read Hamlet and take notes on the play.
2.) Determine what stance (your thesis) you are taking.
3.) Do additional research about the stance you want to take on the play to get ideas of how to further your stance and support it (research is required - at least two reliable sources).
4.) Write your thesis statement.
5.)Write your alphanumeric outline beneath your thesis. It must have at least three main points with two sub-points each.
Please note that when parenthetically citing a play, you put the act, scene, and line number into the citation. Example: (Hamlet 2, 3, 17-20). This example would indicate the play Hamlet, act 2, scene 3, lines 17-20.
