HAMLET: THE PALTRY PRINCE ENC1102: Students will identify key characteristics of Shakespearean drama by studying Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Students will learn additional methods of integrating and properly citing quotes from a source (in this case, a play) into their essays. Students will make connections between Hamlet’s successes and failures as a prince and Niccolo Machiavelli’s political philosophy. HUM2232: Students will demonstrate an understanding of Niccolo Machiavelli’s concept of political science through an analysis of his work, The Prince. Student Learning Activities: ENC1102: Guided study questions that ask students to identify specific examples in Shakespeare’s text illustrating Machiavellian political principles. In-class collaborative learning exercises in which students share, debate, synthesize, and then present informally to the class their responses to the Hamlet/Machiavelli study questions. HUM2232: Study questions related to Machiavelli’s The Prince. Teaching Activities: ENC1102: Close-ended questions, cooperative learning, discussion, & the writing process. HUM2232: Lecture, discussion, close-ended questions, & the writing process. Summative Assessments: ENC1102: In addition to the Hamlet/Machiavelli study questions, students will write a 1,000 word literary analysis essay in which they analyze Hamlet from the point of view of Machiavellian political philosophy. Their essays will be assessed based on the criteria described in the Academic Essay Grading Rubric I distribute at the beginning of the semester. HUM2232: Students will complete a two-page essay wherein they will discuss a specific example either from society or from their own lives that illustrates how one failed or succeeded by using or not using Machiavellian principles. Formative Assessments: ENC1102: Students will receive formative feedback on both their study questions and the rough drafts of their Hamlet/Machiavelli essay. Also, we will distribute some kind of CAT at the end of the unit to assess which teaching/learning strategies worked best according to the students (likely an
anonymous questionnaire asking students to assess the most effective/least effective elements of the unit). HUM2232: Dr. Brooks will also provide formative feedback to students’ responses on their study questions about The Prince. We will distribute a CAT at the end of the unit for this section of the course, too, and, finally, Dr. Brooks will allow all students who score less than a 70% on their two-page essays to revise them for a higher grade.
