Hamlet Omelet

In pieces nothing, put together, Delicious!

Assignment:

 Take an Act of Hamlet and create a mini-lesson to teach to a small group of your classmates.
As a group you will decide who does which act.

 Within your mini-lesson, you need to teach all of the assigned information for that topic.

 You must create a teaching tool (i.e.: fill in the blank worksheet, chart with headings, graphic
organizer, notes outline with headings and number of points, or something really creative) to be
completed by your group while you teach your lesson.

 You are also responsible for creating a small test (10 questions… multiple choice, fill in the
blank, true/false, or something really creative) for your section that will be given to everyone in
your group after all of the mini-lessons have been taught. One question must be from each of
the six categories of Bloom’s Taxonomy, and the other four are of your choosing.

***** You are going to mark these quizzes and hand the marks in *****

 Your group members will then evaluate how well you taught your
lesson.
