Hamlet Final Project
Each of you will need to select
from the following projects:
- You act the
scene: Perform one act of the
play on stage, in costume (15 minute min.)
Lines must ne memorized.
This will be graded on effort- so give it your all.
- You play the
teacher: Teach a 30 minute
class on any aspect of the play.
You have long imagined it, now try it. Much like a real teacher,
your aim should be to use varied, interesting instruction. This must include some form of
assessment at the end.
- You make the
Movie: Select one scene from
the play and film and edit it. (10 minute min.) Please only consider this if you have
equipment available.
- Hamlet, Part 2. Create a sequel to the play. You must have a script and a way (storyboard/painting/powerpoint,
etc.) to present it to the class. (15
min)
- Paper:
Theme: Select a topic from the play that interests you and write and
essay in which you explore the development of that topic throughout the
play. Come to a conclusion that you think the play comes to regarding the
topic and give clear reasons.
Then, in the second part of the essay, personally
respond to the topic/theme. Do you agree or disagree with the play regarding
the theme? How has that idea been a part of your narrative? Suggested themes:
Morality: the nature of good and evil
Betrayal
Death (murder, suicide)
Power and Politics (corruption?)
Sex (gender issues, love vs. lust)
Love
Friendship and loyalty
Duty/ Responsibility
Revenge
Project idea of you own? See
