Shakespeare - Hamlet | LearnEnglish Teens | British Council Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, has come back from university to find that his father, the old king, is dead. His mother has married his father’s brother, Claudius, who is now king of Denmark. Hamlet is shocked that his mother has married so soon after his father’s death, and angry that she has married Claudius. Soon, a ghost is seen walking on the castle walls. The ghost looks like Hamlet’s father, the dead king. Hamlet can’t believe that his mother would marry the man who murdered her husband. A group of travelling actors arrives in town. Hamlet’s plan works. This of course means that Hamlet has killed the father of his girlfriend Ophelia. At the end of the play, all of the royal household of Denmark are dead.

Talk Like Shakespeare - Home Mia Smith - ämnesspanare Funderar du på vad du ska göra för att fånga elevernas intresse på din provlektion inför språkvalet? Hur ska du presentera språket så att det verkar intressant för eleverna att välja det nya språket? En del väljer det språket som verkar vara lättare. En del väljer det språket som de kan få hjälp med hemma. Några väljer enligt grupptryck medan vissa väljer det språket som de inte tror ska vara populärt för att få vara med i en liten grupp och på det sättet få studiero. En del väljer det språket som verkar vara till stor nytta och andra väljer det som verkar vara det roligaste. Vi bör tydliggöra att läsa språket ska vara roligt men det kräver också engagemang speciellt när man ska ta ytterligare ett steg i utvecklingen och komma upp till nästa nivå. En lektion räcker inte till för att eleverna ska kunna genomföra ett säkert och informerat val och därför är det nyttigt att göra andra aktiviteter i samband med valet.
