Salve a tutti, oggi vi propongo dei lavori di gruppo che hanno svolto i miei studenti della 3B Liceo Farnesina Roma. L’idea era quella di studiare Shakespeare in modo differente e più creativo e questi sono gli splendidi risultati che ne sono venuti fuori.
Bravi Ragazzi!
The students were supposed to write a rap song on the play “Hamlet”. The lyrics had to include these themes: revenge, madness, love, forgiveness, murder, honour, inaction.
Madness
rap song
-1-
Refrain: You know I miss my Dad
You know that I can’t stand
You know I’m so sad
And sometimes I become mad
I see my father coming back
When I was young my father was the King
He was like a Heaven kissing Hill
A strong Nation had risen up
You should find it on those maps
But now is gone

Refrain: You know I miss my Dad
You know that I can’t stand
You know I’m so sad
And sometimes I become mad
I see my father coming back
One day a Ghost entered in my room
I saw that there was the Moon
I didn’t believe him really soon
I thought he was telling something inopportune
So to be or not to be
That is the problem, that is the question
I have never had a bad intention
But Claudius’ reaction proves his guilt
The doubt makes my brain go in tilt

Refrain: You know I miss my Dad
You know that I can’t stand
You know I’m so sad
And sometimes I become mad
I see my father coming back.
By Varaldo, Casale, Cecchi Paone, Paterni, Giannini
Madness in crazy
rap song
-1-
Why are you so mad? Why so mad?
I’m mad because I want some bread
You don’t need it, you are already fat
Now shut up and listen to this rap
I’m gonna tell ya a story about my father and his glory
He’s the best, fuck the rest
My own dagger will stab his murder’s chest
Yo nigga! Yo nigga your body will turn bloody
-2-
Tears for fear, too much sadness my heart feels
We’re blind, we can’t find
So much darkness in my mind
There’s no time to apologise
Cause my heart is full of ice
But if you want some ice cream
Go to bed and start to dream
Sniff! Sniff! Wait a second…
I smell some good bacon
Oh! the Ghost is going away
Smoking weed every day
By Ambat, Desideri, Varrone, Votta, Aloia.
Dedico questo articolo ai miei studenti che mi forniscono sempre nuovi stimoli ed input per andare avanti in questo lavoro,
