If you’re a first time teacher of Hamlet—or any Shakespeare play, this resource will help keep your head above water. Included are copies of Hamlet’s soliloquies, worksheets for student work, and high-quality videos that demonstrate to the high schoolers what soliloquies do, how actors handle the difficult lines, and demonstrate how difficult it is to be (or not to be) Hamlet. There is plenty of close reading practice in the activities provided.
