 * Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form): **(T)** ||
 * **Goal**: Your goal is to effectively explain your external and internal conflicts and seek advice, as well as give advice to others with similar aims.

 * Audience**: Your audience is the blogging community, including other residents of Elsinore who are starting blogs of their own.
 * Situation**: You don't know how to solve your problems, so you decide to seek advice by writing a blog entry explaining your conflicts.

Finally, a Kingdom Conflict Specialist brings you and your fellow Danes together to share your feelings, hopefully presenting a peaceful resolution rather than a violent one.
 * Product/Presentation**: The product is a blog entry explaining your external and internal conflicts and calling for advice, along with comments on others' entries offering advice for their problems from your own perspective. This blog entry will be read aloud in a group therapy session of the kingdom.
 * Standards (criteria from both rubrics)**:

 * You are a main character from Hamlet, and you're frustrated! Whether it be your family crisis, a doomed romance, or fear of insanity, your problems are becoming too much to deal with. Should you "bear the slings and arrows" of your situation, or "take arms" against your problems "and by opposing end them?" A new MTV reality show, "Shakespeare Group Therapy" has gladly made your struggle the subject of an upcoming episode. In each episode, Shakespearean characters blog about their conflicts and ask for advice from friends and family. In the conclusion, each character shares their blogs with one another, hopefully without a violent confrontation! As a character on the show, explain your conflicts to the blogging community, and seek advice for your troubles. ||
