Thread: English I class presentations
Characters: Lady Jac and open to English I (Aiko, Alex, Amadeus, Brian, Liz, Narya, Phil)
NPCs: --
Location: Lady Jac's classroom, Howard Stark School of Tomorrow
Timeline: Thursday, 28 March 2013 [forward dated]
Description: As mentioned in Jac's journal, the students have classroom presentations! It's the last day the English I class meets before spring break, so it's presentation day!
Rating: G
The students had been working on their midterm papers and presentations for a few weeks, and the time had come! Lady Jac collected the papers at the beginning of class, then sat to the side with her grading notebook. One by one, each student would come to the front of the room and present their work.
The Assignment:
English I, we're nearly to the end of the Hamlet section. For the last part, you'll be rewriting Shakespeare. Change one significant part of the play, such as a character or the setting. Your paper should reflect how that affects the play as a whole, particularly its themes. You'll be presenting a five minute summary of your paper to the class.
Remember, even though you're making a change, the play should still be recognizably Hamlet. If you find yourself rewriting the whole thing, you've gone too far.
