Hamlet Group Presentation
Tasks:
1. In a creative way, summarize your portion of the play.
2. Explain all significant literary devices in the assignment.
3. Tell the class how the assigned reading advances the plot, and why it is significant to the story as
a whole.
This is a group project, and everyone will need to say how they contributed to the presentation.
If you are not here, the show will go on, so plan for gaps if you would like full credit. The other
group members will need to take up the slack. Bring your presentation to me the day before so
that I can review it. No political, religious, racial, or sexual remarks should be included in the
presentation, and the consequences for including these in your presentation will be a ZERO. If
you do not help with the project, you will receive a zero.
Your grade will be determined in the following manner:

Suggestions for a creative presentation:
1.
Act out—role play
2. Draw bulletin board size drawings
3. Create StoryBird, a digital comic strip, video tape, blabberize, animoto, voki, XtraNormal,
etc… (I do not expect you to pay money for any software! Most web 2.0 is free.)
Video clips from Hamlet movies and powerpoints will not be accepted.
Suggestions for division of tasks: someone read and make summary, someone create
presentation, someone explain literary elements and significance
