    Before the idea of ‘copyright’ existed, the ideas within Shakespeare’s plays

    were up for grabs. Rival playhouses sent ‘spies’ to take notes during
    performances so they could use the Bard’s ideas for their own productions.

    Task:

    For this final project, you will use the plot of Twelfth Night to create your
    own version of the play.

    Process:

    Step 1: Groups of 4-7 people will be assigned


    Step 2: As a group, brainstorm the main events of the play
    Step 3: Choose a genre for your ‘new’ play – some possible genres
    include science fiction, mystery, comedy, spaghetti western, drama (clear
    any other genres with your teacher before beginning – a ‘ganster’ version is
    not acceptable)
    Step 4: Write a script (your play must take no longer than five minutes
    to perform, but must include the key elements of plot from Twelfth Night)
    Step 5: Rehearse! Rehearse! Rehearse! Your play will be presented in
    front of your class. You are encouraged to use costumes, props and sets
    Step 6: Perform!
    Evaluation:

    Your group will be evaluated based on the following criteria:


    • Use of class time /10
    • Accuracy of plot /10
    • Degree of genre integration /10
    • Preparedness (memorization of lines etc.) /10
    • Presentation (costumes/props, voice projection etc.) /10
