Hamlet Act II Tableau Scenes

After our reading of Act II, students selected a moment they thought was important or significant to portray in tableau.  Next, they posted their photo to our Learning Management System, and other students were invited to choose a line from the play that they thought would suitably accompany the photo.

Hamlet's First Eleven Lines

As we begin reading and analyzing Hamlet, we are starting small.  Eleven lines only.  Students read the first eleven lines and focused on the question:

EQ: What does the opening of a text reveal about it?

Then, so everyone could get the feel for the language--and have a little fun, students paired up to perform the first eleven lines in the style of one of the following genres:

Horror

Western

Soap Opera

Musical

Spy

Rom Com

Fantasy

Silent

Animated/Puppetry

News Broadcast

Interpretive Dance

Poetry Slam

Rap

Here are some photos of their performances.  Can you guess which style they are presenting?
