Students in the Ext(reme) Reading and Ext(reme) Writing programmes were fortunate to experience Shakespeare's enduring play 'Hamlet', as performed by the Pop-Up Globe Theatre company on their nationwide tour.
The State Opera house was filled with two hours of wonderful language, an exhilarating plot, incredible staging, lighting and acting, all of which had the students intrigued. This experience was the final activity after classwork discoveries into the language, plot line and character developments seen in the play.
On their return, the students created 'Six Word Memoirs' of the live performance; some are shared below:
- Watching action-filled play. Totally absorbed. (Ashleigh)
- An amazing play. Speechless in awe. (Ashleigh)
- Curiosity, thoughts, emotions. Watching in wonder. (Ashleigh)
- Actor crumples. Everyone gasps. I cheer (Jessie)
- Immerse yourself with tragic death. Alas. (John)
- Odd Language. Understood Language. Intriguing story. (Nathan)
- Words, words, words. And more words. (Scarlett)
- Watching, looking. Excitement, Death. It’s over. (Scarlett)
- Armoured ghost. Favourite character. Great effects. (Tom)
The students also stepped into a character's shoes and created some Six Word Memoirs, some of which we have shared here.
