Guided / Independent
Are you a good annotator? Creative? Inquisitive (ask lots of question)? Pick your strongest attribute and write it down on a slip of paper with your name on it.
Then, in groups that I assign:
1. Analyze the cover of the handout. Write three comments and ask three questions about it.
2. There are 6 sections to this packet:
a. Elizabethan England
b. Growing up Shakespeare
c. London City Living
d. Plague (health problems in England)
e. Clothing
f. The curse of Macbeth.
For each section, write three facts, ask one question and make one relationship between then and modern day. Therefore you will have five comments for each section. So, for example, to make a relationship between growing up Shakespeare, you might say, "today, educational opportunities are equal for boys and girls."
Closure
Groups share questions and relationships.
