Once you have chosen one of Shakespeare’s plays you will have to look for the

film version, trailer, of the play on YouTube. Choose just a few minutes of the film, trailer. Download the section of film you have selected. Use “aTube catcher” or any

other app to download the video. Edit the film if necessary, 6 to 10 minutes will do. You will show the class the silent version of the film, (we will turn the volume

off). You will become Shakespearian actors and actresses. How? Create a script for those few minutes of the play. It can be a comical

adaptation, or a very dramatic one….. It is up to you! The four of you will have to dub the film, life, for your classmates.
