Are you familiar with how to use Twitter?
Yes
No
5
Twitter in a nutshell
Another social media platform
Posts or comments are shared in the form of "tweets"
On Twitter, adding a “#” to the beginning of an unbroken word or phrase creates a hashtag. When you use a hashtag in a Tweet, it becomes linked to all of the other Tweets that include it.
6
Let's switch it up a bit!
Instead of responding to Instagram posts, respond to the following "Tweets" from characters in the play.
View the tweet, read the caption and context, and respond to the CONTENT of the tweet.
Some tweets will simply be an explanation of what happened in the play! (No need to reply)
7
Be prepared to respond in "Twitter Language" on the next slide!
Think about where Laertes is at!
What has recently taken place?

King's Aside at the end of Scene 3
Well, King of England, I hope you value my regard for you; you should do so, out of consideration for my great power over you, since your wounds are still raw and red after your last war with Denmark, and you openly pledge your allegiance to us. You don't dare take lightly my royal command - which explicitly orders, in letters pertaining to the matter, the immediate death of Hamlet. Do it, King of England, for he rages through my blood like a fever, and you must cure me.
