This lesson is
designed to introduce students to the world of Shakespeeare and his contributions
to today's society. There is an enormous amount of information on the web
about Shakespeare so I have evaluated the sights for its appropriateness for
use in this assignment. This WebQuest satisfies the South Carolina Language Arts Standards in reading
and writing.
Prior
to beginning this WebQuest, you are encouraged to look over notes on how
to do a simple PowerPoint
presentation. I also suggest that you review the format of a friendly letter and
MLA style of documentation. Remember, the questions for each group
are not conclusive.
I have given you leeway to be
creative in your presentation.

Suggested Time Frame:
At least four days of class time should be spent in the computer lab (as
a class). Allow an additional week to a week and a half for sending
individual groups or students to the (library) to complete the work.
Class Management:
- Put the class into their teams.
- Have each person look at the topic
they will research.
- They will then determine what aspect
of their overall topic they will research.
- Stress time management and team
participation
- Please make sure that students understand
that they are only playing the role of teacher when presenting their PowerPoint
presentation.
