The Process
s

In this webquest, you will be divided up into groups of no more than four.  Each group will be making a presentation about one aspect of Shakespeare's world.  The presentations will be about health and medicine, food and drink, games, the theaters where Shakespeare's plays were performed, William Shakespeare's personal life, and most importantly, the language of Shakespeare.
Each group will give a presentation lasting about 10 minutes. All groups will have a poster or presentation board as a visual aid, although with permission, a group could use PowerPoint to present the visuals.  Some groups will include a worksheet in addition to their presentation, to help their audience better remember their presentation.  Other groups will not be required to prepare a worksheet, but will instead be asked to do an alternative based on their particular topic.  Each group should carefully read the requirements before they start. 
When all presentations have been completed, the entire class should have a very good idea of how life in Elizabethan England was possible.
