Draw a Scene

and explain

Draw a scene from the play and give it a title. You may choose to depict a scene with multiple characters or none at all. Add a short explanation of why you chose this scene and/or what it means to you. If you're worried about your art skills... just breathe and do your best.

Watch a Clip

Watch the "To be or not to be" scene from a modern adaptation of "Hamlet" - HAMLET 2000 directed by Michael Almereya and write in about 200 words your reaction to it. Here are some questions that could help you write your appreciation: Did you like it? Do you think it is consistent with Shakespeare's intentions? Do you think it adds anything to the scene you read on your book? Focus on: setting, costumes, use of voice over.

Choose 3 characters apart from Hamlet and create bubble maps (where their names are in a central circle surrounded by other circles labelled with their traits) where you list 4 personality traits for each one. If characters share a trait, make sure their names are all connected to the same sub-bubble with a line. You can use a web app to create your map (as Canva) or you can draw it on a piece of paper and then make it into a .jpeg or .png image. Once you have finished, upload it on the class Padlet.

Tweet

Choose two characters from the play (apart from Hamlet) and write a tweet as each one, imagining what they might share on their personal account if they were transported to this decade.You can find a template here ( twitter template) you can use. When you are in the file, make a copy of it, and then WORK ON THE COPY. Once you have finished, upload the link to your work on the class Padlet. If you do not want to use the template, use any other way you prefer.

Presentation

Make a three-slide presentation (PPT, Canva, Genially,...) on three themes of the play. Each slide should contain a brief explanation of the theme with (possibly) examples and a picture. Upload your presentation to the class Padlet

Video

Record a video (30 - 90 seconds) in which you give a brief speech as one of the play's characters. Do not use a speech you have analyzed in class. Once you have recorded it, upload it on your class Padlet in mp3 or mp4 format.

Journal Entry

Write a two-paragraph journal entry for any main character. You may want to focus your entry around one of the main events in the play or a reflection in which the character looks at how they've grown or changed during the course of the story.
