Submit both the visual and the written work through Canvas.
Students may create ANY original work of art that interprets one scene* from Hamlet. This includes, but is not limited to:
Poem
Painting or sketch
Cartoon
Journal entry
OR
Students may write their own skit in a very particular and recognizable style (e.g. Valley Girl, mobsters, Southern, etc) that demonstrates an understanding of a scene from Hamlet. Students may not simply use their own contemporary phrasing, they must put it in another very specific style. Students who choose this option must record themselves reading/performing their scene and upload that as well.
This assignment may NOT be something that is about the entire play, rather go in depth about one scene.
Students must also write a paragraph explaining the meaning of their creation.
This must be a creative work! It must be YOUR work!
You must provide the meaning and significance of the moment!
Do NOT just write a paragraph explaining what happens in the scene!! This is interpretive, not synopsis or plot summary.
The goal is to demonstrate that you have understood the scene in question and its relationship to the rest of the play. You must demonstrate a particular interpretation that is similar to or challenges the interpretations we have discussed in class, but you must make it clear why you have chosen that interpretation. There must be text of the play that serves as evidence for your interpretation. You should also be prepared to explain the larger significance of the scene or main concept you are addressing. That is, not just in the context of Hamlet, but in relation to other works we have read, or life experience.
