These Hamlet character assignment sheets are a simple tool to keep you more organized during your unit. The resource lists the characters that appear in each scene with a space to write a student's name. How the character assignment sheets can help you while reading Hamlet: You can make sure that every student is taking a turn to read. You can choose different readers for the big roles for each scene so that the division of labor is fairer! You can save time by assigning roles before class starts (either by drawing names randomly or assigning roles according to your understanding of students’ abilities and preferences). You’ll be reminded of whose turn it is to read if a student isn’t ready. If you have to stop in the middle of a scene, you’ll know which student needs to pick up reading the next day. It’s easy to print/copy these sheets for each class reading the play so you can keep your notes separate. Be sure to check out the rest of the resources included in the BritLitWit Hamlet Unit Bundle!
