Project 5
My PowerPoint presentation is based on William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, a tale in keeping with my aspiration to teach English Lit. to the hormonally charged brains of teenagers. The plot deals with suicide, homicide, lies, deceit, self-absorbed behavior, mental break down, grief, imprudent remarriage of a parent, friendships, rivalries, revenge, and did I mention a ghost. It is somewhat difficult to blog about something visual, but what I can say is I have not had this much fun since I worked as a commercial space-planner and interior designer. I was so pleased with the presentation that I simply watched over and over. Creating two family trees, and diagramming the death toll, well as twisted as it sounds was a heck of a lot of fun. So hopefully this will be some consolation to me as I record my pod-cast, oh did I say I am not looking forward to that part of this class?
Madness, violence and more madness. This is why Hamlet is always a good time had by all.
ReplyDeleteI too am a little worried about project 6. I'm not completely sure about my timing, and the idea of all of us chattering away at the same time seems problematic. Almost reminds me of this time that a million monkeys were banging away on a million typewriters until they finally produced....nevermind.
I wish I had thought of getting teenagers interested in angst. I stuck myself with the job of trying to get them interested in poetry.
