TEAM ARRANGEMENTS

The class has been randomly divided into five teams (A, B, C, D, E),
each of five students. In addi萂Ȅon to having a group le胀ၰer, you have
also been assigned a corresponding digit between 1 and 5; your
digit will not be needed un萂Ȅl Phase 2.
To view your le태�er and digit, click here.
For Phase 1, five teams of five will be assigned a le胀ၰer, A‐E. Each
le胀ၰer signifies a tool that will be the focus of the team’s project:

A: WordHoard
B: Tapor 
C: WordSeer 
D: Voyeur 
E: Monk

Teams will learn the advantages and the disadvantages of their tool
and how to effec萂Ȅvely use it. Each team will then apply their
specific tool to the same sec萂Ȅon of Hamlet, 3.4. Work should be
divided equally. A䀰Ԍer three weeks, Teams A‐E will present before
the class their insights into the passage found through the use of
their tool. The presenta萂Ȅon need not be longer than 10 minutes.
(See below for details.)
For Phase 2, new teams will be formed. Instead of Teams A‐E,
students will now form Teams 1‐5, using the original digits that
were assigned to them at the start of Ac萂Ȅvity 1. All students with
the same number will form the new teams. The team number (1‐5)
corresponds to the numeric act in Shakespeare’s Hamlet that each
team will analyze:

1: Act 1 
2: Act 2 
3: Act 3 (leave out 3.4) 

4: Act 4

4: Act 4 
5: Act 5

Each student will bring to the team their exper萂Ȅse in the tool s/he
specialized in for Phase 1. This combined effort, the use of five
tools by five different experts, will be applied to the designated act
in Hamlet. How the work is divided among each member of the
team is at the team’s discre萂Ȅon; possibili萂Ȅes include dividing the
passage equally by lines, by theme or by speaker.
A䀰Ԍer three more weeks of work, Teams 1‐5 will present before the
class their insights into their assigned act of Hamlet illustra萂Ȅng
what the tools offered, supported by examples. The presenta萂Ȅon
need not be longer than 20 minutes. (See below for details.)

BLOG POSTS

For detailed guidelines and grading rubrics, both for your five blog
posts and your comments on other students’ posts, click here.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS

Grading Rubric  |  Schedule
For both Phase 1 and Phase 2, Powerpoint and other visual aids are
not necessary, but can be used to supplement the informa萂Ȅon
provided orally by your team.
Phase 1
The presenta萂Ȅon component of Phase 1 is a 10‐minute oral
presenta萂Ȅon on each team’s digital tool. The presenta萂Ȅon should
explain how your tool helped you to analyze 3.4, and led to new
understandings. The aim of the presenta萂Ȅon is to ensure that your
classmates understand what your specific digital tool does, as well
as what analysis of the text it enables.
You should not only offer your analysis, but also describe the
process your team went through in reaching your conclusions.
Demonstrate a clear understanding of the tool, and address both
its capabili萂Ȅes and limita萂Ȅons.
For full marks, the team will deliver a concise and comprehensive

presenta萂Ȅon. Do not simply list your findings. Help your peers to

presenta萂Ȅon. Do not simply list your findings. Help your peers to
grasp what you found and how you found it.
All students must speak during the presenta萂Ȅon, but the division of
speaking 萂Ȅme is up to the team. It is important that each member
address his/her contribu萂Ȅon to the process and role in the project’s
comple萂Ȅon. It is also important that all five students put equal
work into the prepara萂Ȅon of the presenta萂Ȅon. This will be enforced
and checked through the team contract and peer evalua萂Ȅons.
Phase 2
The presenta萂Ȅon component of Phase 2 is a 20‐minute oral
presenta萂Ȅon on the analysis of your assigned act in Hamlet through
the use of all five tools. The presenta萂Ȅon should explain the
assigned act as you now understand it through the use of the five
tools.
The presenta萂Ȅon may be set up any way that your team wishes,
but you must address the unique capabili萂Ȅes of all five tools. A
conclusion should come at the end of the presenta萂Ȅon, comparing
the five tools and providing a unified understanding of the act.
You should also discuss why these insights could not be gained
from a tradi萂Ȅonal (non‐digital) close reading of the text, and how
the digital humani萂Ȅes offers effec萂Ȅve methods for analysis.
Again, all students must speak during the presenta萂Ȅon, but the
division of speaking 萂Ȅme is up to the team. It is important that
each member address his/her contribu萂Ȅon to the process and role
in the project’s comple萂Ȅon. It is also important that all five
students put equal work into the prepara萂Ȅon of the presenta萂Ȅon.
This will be enforced and checked through the team contract and
peer evalua萂Ȅons.
