Final Reflection

The "Hamlet" presentation we worked on in English class had positive aspects and negative aspects. Primarily, the positive aspect throughout the presentation process occurred in the early stages of our project. We quickly identified what question we wanted to answer about "Hamlet": If the public found out what Claudius did, and then they also found out the Hamlet killed him, would they react in favor, or against, Hamlet? In order to answer the question, we used "Harry Potter" as the framing device. Our group was mostly effective and productive until this point. Conflicts of schedule and general distractions forced the script to be created by only two people. If all four people had been actively engaged during the creation process, the script would have been a lot more developed. As a result of this, the video displayed this underdeveloped thesis. Since, over the weekend, two members unfortunately could not help with the video recording, the individuals that were available had to bring in two friends from out of the class to assist. Their lack of experience in the group, through no fault of their own, held the video and script back. Effectively, the presentation and script would have been noticeably more in depth if the entire group that was assigned the project was actively engaged the whole time.
