Students will familiarize themselves with theater vocabulary terms by taking a trip to a stage and completing a photo scavenger hunt that includes previously defined terms.  Students must include themselves in the shots so that they can be used later.

Students will create a presentation in which they will generate a Shakespeare-style story by using the photographs they took during the field trip.  The story must follow a theme similar to Shakespeare’s plays that will be discussed previously in class.

Students will generate a paper in which they compare the modern stage to the Globe Theater.  They should include the vocabulary discussed earlier and use their field trip as a point of comparison.

Students will discuss the Shakespeare play being read to modern productions.  Students will cast a modern movie version of the play by selecting personalities today that they feel are similar to the characters in the play.  This will generate understanding with characterization.
