**ASSESSMENT** Students in groups of two or three will need to present a PowerPoint presentation on a literary theory of their choice. A definition of the term should be listed on the slide and at least 3 examples from Hamlet for each sub-term associated with the main literary term. Each example needs to be cited with the act and scene it is taken from. To create these projects, groups will need to create a Wiki from PBworks. Each Wiki needs at least 3 pages, one hyperlink, and one slide posted to the Wiki. Each group member should comment at least once. Use the Wiki to work together since you will have no class time to put your presentation together. If students do not have access to the internet in their homes, they should personally discuss with me to set up a time to use the library internet or classroom internet.
