  1. Thou shall create… What an archaic and pretentious word to use! A “Body Bio” for a character from The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

  2. What is a body bio? • A body bio tells the story of a selected fictional character through a combination of textual evidence (quotes), written support, and visuals that express an artistic interpretation based on the text.

  3. What will the finished product look like?

  4. Your Project will include: • A review of the most significant events involving your character, including act & scene • A legend that explains each color and visual symbol you use. Connect each color & pattern with a fact from that character’s “life.” • One original text from each group member that addresses a different personality trait of your character, and at least one MUST be a sonnet

  5. Project Requirements, continued: • A list of the 5 most important quotes relating to your character that reveal his/her personality. Remember, these will not necessarily be spoken by that character. • A bold, insightful thematic statement that this character exemplifies • Of course, feel free to add your own touches & creativity. These are the minimum requirements.

  6. Project Requirements, continued: • The bio should be easy for others to read and understand during the gallery walk. • Your group will present the components of your body bio and your peers will score your visual & written portrait. • Your presentation will focus on theme, symbols, colors, character traits, the 5 quotes, and a brief yet insightful description of your character.

  7. Don’t be that guy. • You will keep each other on task. Any group member who fails to contribute to the greater good of the group will suffer the consequences. • If you fail to contribute to your group, you will be voted off the island and complete an entire body bio on your own.

  8. Character Questions for Body Bio: • List the important relationships in his/her life in the order of importance. What do other characters say about your character or how to they react to him/her? • How does your character feel about other characters? • How does your character affect the events of each scene in which he or she appears? How is he/she important in this scene? • In each scene where your character appears, what is his/her goal? What motivates his/her actions? Assign the following questions to group members. On Monday, you will meet with your group to discuss your findings. Remember, all conclusions must be based on textual evidence.

  9. Character Questions for Body Bio: • Do you learn something about Hamlet by comparing him to your character? • What are your character’s most admirable qualities? The worst? • Consider your character’s surface appearance and what you know about his/her inner self. Do these images correspond? What does this clash or correspondence tell you about your character? • How does your character change within the work? When? • How does your character underpin the themes of the work?
