AP Hamlet PLN

I'll first list the 10 that didn't make the cut.

Here the five I picked.

Well presented, organized, and easy to navigate with. This sight has several lists of words within the play that have confused students. The website presents the student's definitions in flash card format making it very easy to read and used. 

If you want to quiz yourself before a test this is a good place to go. It's nice and clean and has pretty entertaining stick figure animations (you'll see what I mean). Only problem with it though is I can't seem to find the answer button so if you get an answer wrong you don't get to find out which answer was correct. 

This sight has a little bit of everything and gives links to a few other sights of interest. Gives some study questions for each act and translates several Old English words. Pretty clean sight with some visuals and is a good sight to look at. 

This is a pretty elaborate essay about Hamlet. It's very long and I haven't read it all but what I have read is pretty detailed and well thought out. The author knows what he is talking about and if you want to understand Hamlet better it's a good essay to go too.

Here's another essay that's more about analyzing Hamlet. The author talks about Hamlet's logic overpowering his emotion but this slowly changes as the play continues. It's a pretty short essay (compared to the other one at least) and it's not very hard to understand.

  1. I was under the impression that we were listing other learning communities/courses, but I could be wrong. Regardless, nice list! I especially like that you took design and usability into account.
