Presenting


After straightening out my ideas with Mrs. Abrams, my presentation looks like it will be a success. I really want the students to participate in my venn diagram activity. It will bring together the overall ideas and differences of King Lear and the play we have already read and analyzed, Hamlet. The overall theme of family feud is evident, which I hope the class will pick up on right away. Before I show my five minute clip, I will introduce my project and how I came upon King Lear. It is very interesting the way modern day novels, such as, A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley parallels to a famous Shakespeare play. Hopefully the class enjoys my presentation and can answer my closing question: what are three new things you learned today?
