Today in class we review our knowledge of Shakespeare's life by doing a Kahoot.it! quiz. The vast majority of students demonstrated accurate understanding of important biographical points.
Using our new text, Reading and Writing for Success (pages 140-147) and our style guides (pages 4-5), we peer and self edited our rough drafts of our expository paragraphs, in which we explain the most important story element. We co-constructed a rubric and discussed the importance of the writing process for developing not only as writers but also as credible authors.
We formed groups to begin our online research into the Globe Theatre. The end product is a slideshow Students need to collect their assigned data for Friday: (a) historical drawings and pictures of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, (b) photos of the modern, rebuilt Globe Theatre, (c) facts about the Globe Theatre, and (d) maps showing the historical and current locations of the Globe. One member of the group must take on the role to organize the material into a slideshow that illustrates how Shakespearean plays were and are performed.
HOMEWORK:
For Wednesday (tomorrow): Create a revised and edited draft of your expository paragraph to hand in to me (with rough work)
For Friday, Feb. 12: Gather and organize your research on the Globe Theatre
