I definitely think using video projects in a high school English class is going to come in hand in the future. I know I loved acting out scenes from books, especially Shakespearean plays because reading them out loud definitely helps with understanding. Filming them would be a great way to incorporate other areas of the play, including settings, costuming, and speech. These are all things that would have to be taught before the actual project was assigned. The way Shakespearean plays were produced was MUCH different from today's musicals and plays.
| OBJECTIVE -Have students understand the costuming, setting, and speech patterns found in Shakespearean times -Produce a short (5-7 minutes) video of a particular scene from Act I |
