“Hamlet: The Social Network” is an excellent way to bring differentiated instruction to the classroom for a complicated Shakespearean play. We hear a lot these days about how our students enjoy communicating with one another on sites like Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter. This project is essentially a character analysis assignment in the form of a “mock social network.” Students must imagine that characters from Hamlet have social networking pages where they post their thoughts, concerns, activities, motivations, and more. There have been many creative ways to teach Hamlet over the years including mock newspapers, mock trials, and the like. This project puts a 21st-century spin on those assignments and allows students to express themselves in a familiar medium. This packet includes pages for eight characters in Hamlet. Students may role-play as any of them (or all of them) and write “status updates” as if they were the characters. They must write updates in a way that imaginatively demonstrates their knowledge of the character. Ideas for doing so might include interpreting the character’s motivations, justifying his/her actions, inventing private thoughts, and more. The idea however must apply to all: we must find this character’s social networking profile “believable”; the student must stay within character to prove their knowledge of the play. For example, a student might role-play as Ophelia and post thoughts that reflect her constantly twisting mindscape, while a student role-playing as Claudius might make comments reflecting his nervous nature after overhearing Hamlet and Ophelia. A student might take artistic liberty to imagine Gertrude’s motivations and feelings, while another student might consider exploring Horatio’s good nature or the Ghost’s intentions "Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature / Are burnt and purged away" (1.5.6; 18).

Hamlet Bingo: Instructions, Game Boards, and Call Sheet No additional boards will be added to the product. **SEE thumbnails for PREVIEW** This differentiated activity is intended to get students excited about literature in a creative way. PREPARE: Print out the BINGO cards sheets enough for each child plus one call sheet for the teacher. Cut out the bingo cards (5). You have a blank card to make your own. --the purpose of playing is to review. The students will find the answer on their bingo board. This will create competition, ensure that they are focusing, and provide an educational review. The students will then place a written “X” on the corresponding answers after each clue is given by the caller. I’ve seen teachers laminate cards and students use dry erase markers. This will allow you to re-use the cards (You can also make your own markers with pennies, cutout squares, etc.) Award extra credit points on an impending test (this is what I would do).

This lesson introduces Aristotle's literary theories and terms from Poetics on tragedy and then analyze how they may or may not apply to Shakespeare's work. Objectives: To develop criteria for analyzing literary elements To support analysis with textual evidence To use rhetorical skills for constructing and supporting oral and written arguments To construct an effective argument supported with logical reasoning and textual evidence To apply literary theories to other texts To close read a text for main ideas Common Core Standards: R1, 3, 6, 11/ W1, 2, 4, 10/ SL 1, 3, 4, 6/ L1-3 Instructions: Aristotle’s literary theories have helped to set the precedent for what determines “high quality” literature. Writers either follow his methods, or they rebel against them. While it is not known if Shakespeare read or studied Aristotle’s Poetics, it is a fascinating study to apply Aristotle’s theories to Shakespeare’s work in order to observe how Shakespeare innovated new concepts for drama. In this unit, students will: 1. Complete the pre-reading strategy in order to define key terms found in Aristotle’s Poetics. 2. Close read excerpts from Poetics and answer comprehension/discussion questions for each section. Note that students may answer the questions in terms of one, single Shakespearean tragedy but may reference any other plays they may have read. 3. Map out the plot of at least one Shakespearean Tragedy and identify examples of key terms from Aristotle’s Poetics. 4. Debate whether or not Shakespeare follows Aristotle’s literary theories. 5. Synthesize their conclusions in a post-debate writeup. This unit contains SIX excerpts from Aristotle’s Poetics for students to close read. Each excerpt contains a few close reading/ discussion questions in order to both comprehend Aristotle’s main ideas as well as apply them to Shakespeare’s works. There are a few different ways to use these excerpts in your classes: Have students read all six excerpts and discuss the questions included in each one. Divide students into groups and assign each group 1-2 excerpts to close read. Students can then present their findings to the class, and the whole class can discuss the application questions included. Use the “Overview of Aristotle’s Poetics” handout included here and have students close read only a couple of the excerpts instead of all six. For the remaining activities, students can focus on a single Shakespearean tragedy of your choice, or allow students to use evidence from multiple plays as best fits your curriculum reading list, their reading experiences, and level of course difficulty. This lesson is a great addition to any unit on Shakespeare!
