// Hamlet // is one of William Shakespeare's greatest works of his lifetime, and is the play that you have just finished reading. Shakespeare made choices on how to develop each character (evil, good, young, old, female, male etc.) these choices can influence how an audience will feel and react to them. In a good work of literature students will be three dimensional and could actually be a real person if the story is true. The characters and their relationships to each other impacts the entire work, because with out them there would be no story to tell.

=Task= //(Tell the story of the Role, Audience, Setting, and Presentation. Be a story teller. Save any classroom-specific information for the Process. Build the scenario and stay in character. You can reference the Introduction but try not to duplicate the information that's in the Introduction.)//

Mark Zuckerberg is the founder of the most popular social networking site in the entire world, Facebook. Millions of people sign into the website everyday to learn more about their friends, and interest pages. It is the easiest way to share information, and learn about what someone is like or interested in. Zuckerberg is expanding his website to not only include real life people, but literary characters too. Students from around the globe will be able to search a character’s profile and learn all about them. Zuckerberg has opened up the project to students everywhere, and will feature the best profiles on the site. Our class has currently finished reading // Hamlet //, and will be entering into this exciting competition. Your goal is to create 3 different profiles and use the text (the actual play) to fill out the profile. Making up information will cause a profile to be disqualified from the contest. Make your profiles as creative and informational as possible to have the best chance of being chosen by Facebook. Get ready for the chance of a lifetime, and good luck! =Conclusion= //(Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)//

Congratulations you have finally finished your profiles and they are now on their way to the Facebook headquarters in California! Most importantly you have learned a lot about the characters of Hamlet, and how Shakespeare's choices on how he developed them impact the novel. From your profiles you learned a lot about their interests, and who they really are. The hard part is over, now all you have to do is wait for Mark Zuckerberg's response.
