Students will rewrite and adapt their Biblical plays to fit the style of a Shakespearean play. Students should choose a minimum of four conventions from that genre and historical period and rewrite their Biblical play to include them. Conventions may include dramatic devices, structural elements, character types, stage design, and / or costuming. Length must be 750 – 1000 words.
The attached files contain the original Biblical adaptation that needs to be rewritten in Shakespearean play style. Below are links to information on the style that Shakespeare wrote plays and examples of conventions.
