AP English literature class invokes the Bard to win online contest

by Boothbay Register

Boothbay Region High School students in Mark Gorey’s AP English Literature class put together a hilarious YouTube video that earned them first place in their division in a contest on the online website, Meridian Stories. Their entry fell under the Vocabulary Vine Challenge category. Gorey’s students were tasked with creating a one-minute video made up of six-second clips, or “vines” created to help students expand their vocabulary. They chose words from William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” Student actor Jacob Leonard, representing the Bard, was shown in costume cavorting through a series of modern-day scenes sharing his vast knowledge of seldom used or obscure words with 21st century actors.
