400;\"> is one of the most beloved of the Shakespearean plays.\u00a0 Well, at least if you ask me, it is.\u00a0 So I always set a very high standard for myself to create the most engaging <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamlet <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">character activities.\u00a0 Emphasis on: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">characters<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to fully understand and appreciate the brilliance of this Shakespearean tragedy, you have to be willing to embrace how important the characters are.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my British Literature elective course, we always begin the play with characters in mind.\u00a0 That definitely paves the way for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamlet <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">character activities yet to come.\u00a0 Plus, I find it helps \u201cdistract\u201d my students from some of the more obvious plot details.\u00a0 (Like, \u201cNo way.\u00a0 I can\u2019t believe Claudius killed his brother.\u201d\u00a0 Make sure you read that last line with ample doses of sarcasm.)<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of my favorite activators \u2014 it\u2019s quick and easy \u2014 is to have students take a little personality quiz on which Hamlet character they most resemble.\u00a0 This is one of the quicker and sillier of my <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamlet <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">character activities, but I find it makes the characters more personal.\u00a0 It\u2019s cool to see kids talk about themselves in relation to the characters.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But one of my most prized <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamlet <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">character

an actual person and creatively represent the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamlet<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> character using both text and art.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I first put my students into \u201crandom\u201d groups.\u00a0 I used a random sorter to start.\u00a0 But I used my teacher oversight to make sure each group had at least one strong artist.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then I assigned each group a character.\u00a0 For me, those included:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prince Hamlet<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queen Gertrude<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">King Claudius<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight:

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ophelia<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I had chosen these <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamlet <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">character activities later in the unit, I also would have included Rosencrantz and Guildenstern as \u201cone\u201d character.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once they knew their character, groups completed a rough draft or planning page.\u00a0 They submitted this to me for formal review.\u00a0 I graded it as easy points.\u00a0 But it also allowed me to gauge which groups were on the money and which needed a little more direction.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After groups had my official approval, they were given a 7-foot piece of white butcher paper.\u00a0 They had to choose someone to trace (peep Queen Getrude \u2013 that\u2019s my outline!).\u00a0 I challenged groups to find a careful balance of the following:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Textual Evidence: Use varying handwriting styles, fonts, colors, etc. to fill the inside of their silhouettes with character traits, inferences, and textual evidence<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artistic Flair: Use creativity and artistry to make your person look real.\u00a0 Consider adding facial features, clothing, jewelry, accessories, etc.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results were absolutely amazing!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12c9093 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con

together our characters.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I made the choice to display our characters in the hallway outside my classroom.\u00a0 If you\u2019re wondering, how do kids
