a) What do you know about Hamlet, the "Melancholy Dane"?
-Honestly, all I know is that he's someone we have to study. He was a prince and his writing was gloomy.
b) What do you know about Shakespeare?
-Shakespeare wrote many plays and people often look to his work for advise on writing.
c) Why do so many students involuntarily frown when they hear the name "Shakespeare"?
-They frown because they know Shakespeare's writing is complex and long. Most teachers that teach Shakespeare get too into it and take the fun out of it.
d) What can we do to make studying this play an amazing experience we'll never forget?
-Many people don't see the use in reading Shakespeare because it's boring and complex, but if you have the class perform parts of his writing or let us have a visual by watching the scene we're working on then maybe people will want to participate. If you make Shakespeare a fun experience, there's a higher chance our minds will remember and recognize what your trying to teach.
