Blog #12 Final Reflection

The Hamlet final project was a challenging but also fun experience, for my group and I. Having to incorporate at least ten quotes directly from Hamlet within our lines, plus the "gossip girl" lingo was difficult, and then also having to connect our script to our style model added to the challenge. This project had fun aspects as well, being able to write Hamlet in a way that was more relate-able for kids our age was really cool especially since half the time I, myself can't even figure out what Shakespeare is trying to say. Another fun part of the project was being able to incorporate our own costumes, props and even bring in friends to add to our "cast" because it gave us a chance to show our creativity. Most often after a unit in any subject or class is over you take a final exam, but being able to do a fun project instead of having to sit down and write yet another essay that I had no desire to write is a nice change. I also think that as a whole I came to understand Hamlet better through this project than I ever would have with an essay, I highly suggest doing this project in future years, it was a project that I thoroughly enjoyed being able to do with friends.
