The AP Literature class studied Shakespeare's Hamlet and all the stress Prince Hamlet had in his life. Since Hamlet had "a lot on his plate", they represented the problems in his life with food. Each student had to identify five (of many) stressors in his life, choose a food to represent it, the portion size, design the plate, and explain and present their creations to the class. The plates are now on display in the library. Students really enjoyed this project and were able to dig deep into the themes of the play.
