• This project has to be done in pairs.

HAMLET & THE LION KING

THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND EFFORT!!!! 

YOU HAVE WORKED VERY HARD AND REALLY WELL PERFORMING THE PLAY " HAMLET AND THE LION KING".

THANKS TO JESSICA FOR HER HELP AND TIME !!!

TO SEE THE PLAY CLICK HERE.

SHAKESPEARE

 

To commemorate this anniversary the bilingual students from 2º ESO have been acting out "HAMLET & THE LION KING". 

Even though Shakespeare's most famous tragedy Hamlet , Prince of Denmark, may have been written over 400 years ago, continues to have a strong presence on the entertainment industry today.

Disney's popular musical,The Lion King, containing singing and cartoons is much like Shakespeare's play.

Many of these similarities are seen through the characters between:

-Simba and Hamlet.

-Old King Hamlet and Mufasa

-Scar and Claudius

-Timone and Pumbaa with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

You have done very well guys!!!!!!

SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN MAKING FOR THE PLAY SOME MASKS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT.!!!! THEY ARE AMAZING !!!!!

HAVE A LOOK:

 

THANKS TO: 

Emma, Eva, Lucía (2º ESO A) and Marta (2º ESO B).

PLOT

A paleoclimatologist, Professor Jack Hall, discovers that due to the global warming, the polar ice caps are melting, which is lowering ocean temperatures. This triggers a massive climate shift which causes many natural disasters and eventually a new ice age.Too late everyone realizes this, and as they try to evacuate to the warmer south, for half of the northern USA, and Canada, it's already too cold to go outside. Meanwhile, Jack's son,Sam, is in Manhatan on a trip with some friends.Jack heads north to try and rescue his son, but the cold is a powerful adversary.
