Thematic work on 'depression' and Hamlet

Introductory lesson plans for familiarising students with the themes and context of Hamlet through dramatic approaches. 

The first lesson focuses on the theme of depression, which students will explore through art and music, before engaging with the symptoms of the illness.

The second lesson introduces the play in summary form, and focuses on Act 1 Scene 2, which students use as the basis of a soundscape for their group's presentation of the whole play.
