Activity 1
1. In a group of no more than 3, choose one of the plays above.

a) Create a lesson plan giving a detailed outline of your eventual presentation. b) Weekly Progress Report - each individual posts a blog c) A handout or booklet - sort of a Dummies Guide to... as a resource for the class. This will include,
 * Deliverables**
 * Objectives: 3 of them phrased in the following way: "Students will be able to..." I highly recommend you check out the following site to assist you in developing your objectives: **The Differentiator**
 * Resources: Everything you need to have in class in order to carry out your lesson
 * Methodology: Broken down by duration and content -- who says what who does what, when and for how long
 * Evaluation: How will you know that the students have attained your objectives? A few cautionary comments here:
 * no quizzes - the whole Jeopardy thing is not an accurate measure of learning or comprehension
 * no candies!!!
 * Essay (4 - 6 pages) from __**each**__group member
 * Testable Items/Key Concepts
 * Timeline/Biography of the author
 * Thematic Discussion of the play

I will give you exemplars of such handouts created by students in previous years.

d) Post your written work to the DG to Elizabethan Drama Wiki site. e) A full class presentation on your topic. This will reflect your lesson plan. It also must include a dramatic interpretation (either podcast or presented live) of at least 1 scene from the play.

Bonus Mark Opportunity: +1 Full Level for a competent podcast of the play.
