Description
Have your students analyze characters from Shakespeare’s play “HAMLET” in a fun and engaging way: Character Collabs!
Your students will use several characterization methods to depict each character’s profile, demonstrate their understanding of the literature, and present their final work on a beautiful poster.
Students will engage with the text on a deeper level, encouraging thinking critically, making inferences, and fostering empathy.
Additionally, they will learn the importance of collaboration and effective communication.
There are 11 characters from the play included in this resource:
- Claudius
- Fortinbras
- Gertrude
- Guildenstern
- Hamlet
- Horatio
- Laertes
- Ophelia
- Polonius
- Rosencrantz
- The Ghost
Project Steps:
1) To construct each poster, your students will work in groups to analyze their specific character.
2) Students will then transfer their findings to boxes on each poster.
3) Next, they will work together to color the pieces of the posters.
4) Lastly, students will tape together the final products.
Each poster is made up of six pieces of paper, which can be printed on regular copy paper or card stock.
Once taped together, each final product will be 28″ x 15″.
