Project description Students will pick a turning point in Hamlet and show how the action of the play would have been significantly altered had a different decision been made or a different action taken.
Students use a graphic organizer to analyze the plot of the play. They identify a turning point in the play, alter the decision that the characters make, and predict the characters’ actions throughout the rest of the play.
Students create a plot outline of their altered play and use it as the basis for creating a visual/audio presentation of their new stories to the class.
This project will test both content knowledge and understanding of conflicts and plot within the play while also allowing for creativity.
