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.

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.
