Each of you will be working on certain aspects of Shakespeare's life, using your blogs to report out what you've learned from these resources. Here are the basic instructions: 1. Click on your link 2. Choose 4 to 6 of the most important facts or ideas related to your topic 3. Rephrase and retype those facts into a blog post 4. Find a photo, drawing, or art piece related to your topic and upload it into your blog post 5. Make the title of your post the same as your topic 6. Write a sentence or two about one or two of the facts you've located (is this similar to today or different from today?) |
