Everything You Ever Wanted A WebQuest for Brookings' Freshmen |
|
|
|
|
| Prologue | |
| To prepare for our class
reading of William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, you will use
the Internet to collect information about the playwright William
Shakespeare, the late late-16th/early 17th century England in which he
lived, and the plays and poems that have earned him a permanent place in
high school classrooms. In completing this web-quest, you will
develop a working selection of information that will aid you in
understanding and enjoying the 1594 play Romeo & Juliet.

|
| The Task | |
| Your job in this
web-quest is to gather salient information from the myriad resources available
to you on the Internet and put together a snapshot of Elizabethan
England and the theater culture that thrived therein. The snapshot
will be comprised of various information from four categories:
1 - British History and Society 2 - Education and Religion 3 - The Elizabethan Theater 4 - The Life of William Shakespeare Using the resources provided on each quest page, you are to collect specific and well-developed information about these topics for your snapshot. You and two partners (17/3 = 5 groups of 3 and one pair) then will assemble the information you've collected and present it to the class at a later date. Appropriate methods of presentation will be posters, PowerPoint, or lecture. More details on this aspect of the assignment are to follow in class.

| The Process | |
| Using the questions on
the pages that follow, as well as your web-quest handout bundle,
assemble your information from the links provided to begin constructing
your snapshot. Be clear about your data collection; clarity and
attention to detail are crucial to a project of this nature. Take
lots of notes, knowing full-well that you will not, in fact, use all of
it.
