Follow the assignment instructions and review the rubric: After you have completed reading “Hamlet” complete the following project: Inside the “box,” place a collection of eight items of one major character’s personal effects: mementos, objects important to him or her, items you would expect to be important to the character you select. (The container could even be one of the items that reveal something about the character in question!) Alternative: collect a collage of images of eight items and continue as described. Catalog the items by writing the name of the item, a description of the item, and one paragraph per item (8 paragraphs total) explaining why each item is important to your character and what it reveals about your character. Be sure that each explanation includes at least one supporting quote from the text to defend your choice of the item in question. Take a picture of your box or collage, and make sure to upload it with your essay. Submitting your work: Click on the “Add Submission” button to get started.
