The project is to have 10th graders read Shakespeare's Hamlet. Divide the class into five groups and have each one discuss the five acts of the play. The students are to show clips of a scene or monologue from the act from a film version of Hamlet. They will get them off youtube and show them om the smartboard. It can be any film version.
The students would then do a powerpoint or Prezi presentation describing the overall act. What is the main action goin on during the act? How do the characters develop? Why does Hamlet forstall in killing Claudius, at least until the end of the play? These are some of the questions that they need to discuss during the presentation.
I would also want the students to use create their own Facebook group. I still would want them to meet on together but they could also get together on line if they could not meet for some reason or another. They could also share ideas in their group on line. If one of the students thought of a good idea for the project outside of when the group met then he or she could share it in the facebook group.
