We have begun Shakespeare: Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth. Much of it will be self-directed, and I will serve as moderator. We will present each play in synopsis form for the Techno Expo in March. Students have been provided with Middle English and modern versions of the plays, along with synopses and character analysis sheets for each play. They also have received a synopsis that is to be used in performing several scenes from the plays. Students are working in six-person groups to learn their parts. When they have mastered their parts, students will make them into a movie to be presented at the MCSD TechExpo in March.
