Final Hamlet project is due on Friday. Another copy of the directions handed out on Friday is on today's blog. Please remember that all work is due on Friday; otherwise, your project is worth only 50 points. This is a writing assignment grade. If you wish to present by film, upload your work to you tube or put it on a thumb drive. DO NOT PLAN ON SENDING YOURSELF AN e-mail. Plan ahead for any technical problems. Again, if you are not ready, you have earned 50 points. This will be the last grade for this quarter!

"There's a divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough-hew them how we will"
What does this mean?
There are two parts to this:
"There's a divinity that shapes our end" refers to the idea that there is a god or higher power that determines how one's life will be played out, whilst the the second line-"Rough-hew them how we will" says that no matter what adjustments or choices one makes in life, the outcome has been predetermined or fated by god.
If you addressed both of these concepts without language convention errors, you receive a 95.
If you addressed one of these without language convention errors, you received an 85.
If you made an attempt, but missed both concepts, and had several language convention errors, you received a 75.
If you did not turn in anything- and now I've given you the response (but it states in attendance you had a LEGAL absence), I'll give you an alternative quick write.

************************************************************************
Final Project Details:Congratulations! You’ve finished Hamlet! As a final project, each of you will hand in an assignment that reflects your understanding of the play in bothanalytical and creative ways. This will count as a writing grade.
Please read through the time line carefully.
Time line:
Friday, October 27…..creative choice….The attached sheet is due at the close of class today. (classroom participation grade)
On Friday, November 3, all projects are due. We will have a gallery walk, with written critiques. Any projects not ready to present on Monday will also only be worth 50 points after that time.
Creative Hamlet (This will count as a writing grade.)
In addition to the writing component, everyone will have an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the play creatively.
Select one of the following:
Writing: letter from Hamlet to his friend Horatio, explaining the Prince’s personal anxiety, frustration over Claudius’ behavior and his relationship with Ophelia. (minimum 200 words; must refer to play details and use some of the language from the text to establish a 17th century tone.). You should plan on writing / or attaching this to a faux surface reflective of Shakespeare’s time. Be creative!
Letter from Ophelia to Hamlet, questioning his behavior and explaining her own feelings. (minimum 200 words; must refer to play details)
Visual: draw, paint, sculpt…scene: Hamlet meets ghost on ramparts
Hamlet sees ghost with Gertrude
Hamlet seeing Claudius pray and wants to kill him
Hamlet rejecting Ophelia’s returning the items he gave her
Laertes and Hamlet fighting
Laertes lecturing Ophelia
Polonius hiding behind the arras
King Claudius and Polonius spying on Hamlet and Ophelia
You may also create the poison cup, rapier, pile of love letters. These should be sophisticated items that reflect those from Shakespeare’s time.
Note that you must specifically identify the scene with the lines you are illustrating.
Music: play a renaissance tune from the 17th century that one might have heard during
Shakespeare’s time. This should be no more than 2 minutes (recorder?)
Sing a tune that one might have heard during the 17th century or sing a more contemporary
song that reflects a particular character’s feelings. (Must identify a specific time within the play.)
Theatre: memorize 10 lines from the play to perform.
Create an original character who performs a commentary on an aspect of the play; include a prop.
Dance: you may work with others to create an interpretive evocation of a particular scene. This must
be filmed to present in class on the Monday. Be prepared to explain the interpretive scene and how it relates specifically to the play.
See me with any other ideas you have; the above list is not exhaustive.
