I think Hamlet, though a classic text that may seem lofty to some students, has relevance in their lives: Hamlet is a relatively young man who goes through family trouble and struggles with identity. Though it may be a 'stretch,' I am open to the challenge of making Hamlet relevant to high school students. One way that I could help accomplish this is with technology. I would want my students to gain an appreciation for Shakespeare and his works... and I understand that is easier said than done. When it comes to relevance in ELA, its place as a classic speaks for itself: it is beautifully and creatively written by one of the most well-regarded authors of the English language.
