At first I did not know how to create my canvas, because my
lesson plan was an introduction to all Shakespeare. However, I wanted to put a
more contemporary feel on the lesson, so I decided to introduce Hamlet. The lesson includes gathering
background information of the time period the play was written during, and then
creating a commercial for a product they would have used. It also focuses on
trying to get students to think about Hamlet
in a more contemporary way, because it gets harder for teachers to do that.
By comparing life in the 1600’s to now, they will get a feel for how different
the time is, but by watching a very contemporary version of the movie Hamlet, they will see that it is still
very much relatable. By the end of the lesson, the students will be able to
relate to at least one character and an experience that character had in the
play, and be able to relate it to a life experience he/she has had.
