You will have approximately 45 minutes to make and practice your skit. 

Create a plan or checklist with your group to manage your time wisely.

Hamlet Vocab 

Activity

1.  Act One Skit

In small groups, you will be responsible for creating your own adaptation of Act One.

First, as a group, create a STEAL chart for:

Claudius

Gertrude 

Ophelia.

Then, using the characterizations from above, create a 3-5 minute skit of Act One.

You will need to decide which parts of the text are crucial to the story and which lines can be eliminated. 

You will also need to decide how you will make this your own unique adaptation.

With your group, create a new script and decide on your actors.

Make sure that you hold all of your group members accountable and practice before you present to the class.

You have 45 minutes to prepare.

2.  Present

Make sure that you have fun, but remember you must present this as if you were really on stage. 

As you watch other groups present, jot down a plus and delta.

We will have time later to provide each other feedback.

Closure: 

How did the creating the skit impact your understanding of the play?
