 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * In this unit we will be studying Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Students will understand various aspects of the play and how they tie together to create themes. Throughout the unit, we will focus on three questions: Why is this an example of a tragedy? How do characters, symbols, and motifs affect theme? How do the characters relate to each other? Through focused readings, creative writing, role-playing, and multimedia projects students will have a deep understanding of the meaning of Hamlet. There will be a final project that asks students to finalize their interpretation of a characters and create a podcast as if they were interviewing the character and relating him or her to a specific theme. ||
