Shakespeare plays

Three great plays of shakespeare 

Drama technique can be exploited for interpretation of the literary text and, especially, for understanding a fictitious character. In this activity, you get into the skin of the character and think from his/her point of view. You must totally empathize with the character.

Aims of the Activity

 - Reading comprehension, especially interpretation of text and character.
 - Writing diary entries, i.e. being able to express personal feelings and thoughts.

Procedure

The class is divided into groups of five or six students. In groups, each student must select an important point of time in the main character's life in the chosen text. It could be a time of success, failure, disappointment, a time when the character has a monologue with himself.

After having selected a crucial point of time, the individual members of the groups must say aloud the thoughts of the character to each other. After having heard each others' interpretations, the group has to work on a final one which will be presented in front of the class by a student as if the pupil was the character.
