Students will immerse themselves in the characters and contexts of Shakespearean comedies by participating in targeted role-playing exercises and conducting interviews, assessing interpretations of social norms, gender roles, and class disparities both historically and in contemporary settings.

Students will collaboratively synthesize their research on disguise in Shakespearean comedies into concise problem statements, connecting themes of gender, class, and social status, to prepare for peer feedback and subsequent analysis.

Students will brainstorm and create imaginative solutions by developing various disguise approaches that could challenge societal norms in Shakespeare’s comedies, using role-play scenarios and peer discussions to refine their ideas and insights.

Students will develop mini-performance prototypes of transformational scenes from selected Shakespearean comedies, focusing on the creative use of disguise to resolve conflict, and iteratively refine their portrayals based on peer feedback and reflective discussions.

Students will present their interpretations of Shakespearean disguises through live performances at the 'Shakespearean Disguise Gala,' receiving feedback from peers and community guests on their effective communication and creative insights, then reflect on the experience to gain deeper understanding and empathy in portraying societal norms and their evolution.
