AP Hamlet Personal Learning Network

Here's the top five courses with online presence that I found studying Hamlet.  The top five are in no particular order.  I had trouble finding communities that were still active, so I chose based on the assumption that I could still contact these courses.

Top 5

Mr. Quarrella's AP Literature and Composition Course Blog
The biggest problem I had when looking for other learning communities was that they were not always still active.  With that in mind, the fact that this course blog is still posting makes it a step above many other learning communities I found.  I get the feeling that it is more about teacher-student communication than open source learning or collaboration, but it is still a contactable online community.  A quick search shows that the course has plenty of Hamlet content, both from past years and for the present.

Gallagher AP Literature Course Blog
Although the blog was for a 2010-2011 class, this course "made the cut" through the huge amount of content it has.  There's a ton of content ranging from pop-culture references to serious analyses of the play.  In particular, the students were assigned an essay in which they were to interpret different video versions of Hamlet.  All their responses are in the comments, so there's plenty to read.

Mr. Bagley's AP English Blog
This particular course has a deep set of questions for the play's acts.  While they were obviously intended as an assignment for students, I found that reading over them helps delve a little deeper into the play.  Since the language sometimes acts as a barrier that impedes analysis, having a question to nudge you in the right direction goes a long way for comprehension.

AP Love
Although it lacks the quantity of posts some others, this particular blog has notes on each scene.  The notes are remarkable in that they are extremely abridged.  The entire thing could be read in a few minutes.  Of course, this does no help if the reader has not already finished the play, but as an extremely quick review, it's hard to do better.

Mrs. Mill's AP Literature and Composition Course
I'm including this particular course in the top five not so much for its Hamlet content (although there it is certainly quality) as for the entire blog set up.  Things are partitioned off and categorized, making this the easiest to navigate of the course blogs I've looked at.  Additionally, the short "about" paragraph is quite similar to the open source philosophy:

"This Website is intended for the use of Seniors at Cabot High School taking Mrs. Mills’ AP Literature and Composition classes.
Many of the materials on this site have been collected from various sources, passed down from others, and found stuck in filing cabinets. Please let me know if I’ve stolen anything from you and I will remove it, or better yet, I will give you credit and continue using the information with your permission."
