Description
I successfully taught Hamlet to our lowest-functioning 12th graders for many years. The key was to watch the Kenneth Branagh version and hit pause a lot. Until that moment when the students start telling you to stop hitting pause because they get it. Granted, I had more success with Merchant of Venice, but Hamlet was still a memorable experience for my students, and I can tell you it was a surprise to the other teachers.
I created this test for that basic 12th grade class. Sample question: 10. Where does Claudius want to send Hamlet?
A. Taiwan
B. United States
C. England
D. Denmark
E. Poland
Some are easier and some are more difficult, but it's mostly a test on whether students followed along as we watched and discussed the play. I'd say it could be valuable for any class reading, watching, or going to see the play. Basically, do you know what happened and why?
31 questions (for some reason). Sure, there are all kinds of Hamlet resources, but this one has some fun built into the answers, and it's original, based on what our class discussed, not what an online resource finds important. Good to use if you're taking the class to a Hamlet field trip.

Thank you! This worked well in my classroom and really helped me add to my lesson plans.
Great resource
This was great. I was able to go in and edit some, to create multiple versions of the test, so there was no cheating, and the kids got a kick out of some of the answer choices.
there were several giggles during the test, students enjoyed the humor
Thanks
I needed a test last minute when I decided that I couldn't grade another essay. This is a basic test, just like it describes. It was perfect in a pinch and is especially great for those lower level students. Thank you!
Students caught the humor in the several questions on the test! :-)
