Shakespeare Watch Party

In the Shakespeare Watch Party, students collect video clips that depict major events in their chosen play, and then note their location and significance to the play's development.  This activity requires students to look deeply at their chosen play and curate the available resources to reflect play's elements and development.  The assignment is uploaded on a customized Google Sheet that highlights each clips location and provides a link as well as a small video graphic.
