Twelfth Night Project
Due April 9th, 2010 40 Points
Directions: Choose one of the following project topics. No late assignments will be accepted. We will also be taking a comprehensive exam on Twelfth Night on April 13th during class.
Written Projects:
1. Dramatic irony is when the audience knows more than the characters in the story, and situational irony is when the character expects one thing, but the opposite happens. Write a 5 paragraph essay explaining the elemental aspect that irony plays in the plot of Twelfth Night. Use at least four specific examples.
2. The ending to Twelfth Night is happy for all characters except for Malvolio. Explain, in a 5 paragraph essay, how this contributes to the reality of the plot. Analyze how his character flaws as well as his relationships with the rest of the cast contribute to this.
Art Projects:
3. Create an A B C book that explains the characters, the plot, and the irony of the story of Twelfth Night. Use color and clear illustrations for every page. Anticipate that each letter will require more than one sentence to earn full credit.
4. Create a comic strip that is at least 25 panels long. Each panel must include an illustration as well as a sentence of explanation OR speech bubbles that clearly demonstrates the panel.
Group Projects:
5. Working with a group, you may re-write any scene or act of Twelfth Night in the modern vernacular and perform it in front of the class. The lines must individually be paraphrased. The groups may have as many students in them as there are characters, but each individual must submit a typed explanation of their own role in the production, as well as an analysis of their team’s process. The script does not need to be memorized, but it must be rehearsed and copied before class begins on the 9th.
6. Working with a group, you may re-write any scene or act of Twelfth Night in the modern vernacular and make a video to show to the class. The lines must individually be paraphrased. The groups may have as many students in them as there are characters, but each individual must appear on camera to receive credit.
Alternative Projects:
If you have an alternative project in mind, please ask me about it! ☺
