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?
