This is a fun and creative project that is an excellent final assessment for Hamlet by William Shakespeare! Students will create a newspaper called "The Denmark Life and Times" in which they are journalists living in Hamlet's world. This product gives you everything you need to present the project, engage students in pre-writing, and mark the final product.

• A Powerpoint presentation that covers the following information:

→ Presentation of the project in a fun and creative way

→ Information on how to write for a newspaper

This was a hit in my class and the students were able to demonstrate not only their creativity, but their understanding of the play as well.
