Many people are aware that it’s the source of The Lion King and is repeatedly referenced (and argued about) in the Star Trek universe. Maybe fewer people are aware of the Hamlet references in SpongeBob SquarePants, The Empire Strikes Back, Coraline, and Witcher 3 (the game). But that’s just...

- Students will grow their knowledge and understanding of Shakespeare's Hamlet, gaining skills that will carry over to all of Shakespeare's plays. Students will be able to explain the difference between a soliloquy and a monologue. Students will gain confidence in reading aloud. While this is not an acting class, students will be encouraged to convey character as they become more comfortable with the language. Students will demonstrate learning through classroom participation (reading and discussion) and in the completion of a final project.

Students will create a final project from a supplied list of possible projects or, alternatively, they can propose projects of their own.
We will be using the Folger Shakespeare Library text. There are many formats available for free download, but please be sure to select a version, like the PDF, that has line numbers. Free Download here: https://shakespeare.folger.edu/shakespeares-works/hamlet/download/ If you would like a solid book with great footnotes, you can buy the Folger paperback edition here: or, if your town still has an independent brick and mortar store, do give them your business. Students should also have a notebook dedicated to this class. Done well, this notebook can be a resource for future Shakespeare courses.
Los estudiantes no necesitarán utilizar ninguna aplicación o sitio web más allá de las herramientas estándar de Outschool.
