Shakespeare is one of the most influential, and regarded as one of the greatest English writers in our history.
What are Shakespearean Plays?
So often, we are given Shakespeare in the form of literature. As they are indeed great works of literature, it is important to remember that they are plays as well. These plays were indeed written by Shakespeare to be “played” to the public. As we study Shakespearean plays, it is important for us to understand that they are both great works of literature, but also plays.
By researching Shakespeare's life and the early production of his plays, students will be able to have a better grasp on Shakespearean plays. This will give them a better understanding of the plays, and introduce a new dynamic to Shakespeare.

Your task can be summed up in the following steps:
1.Break up into groups of four. Begin by researching the relationship between Shakespeare and The Globe Theater. Your focus should be to develop a strong base for how the theatre came about, and also to recognize the degree of Shakespeare’s importance to the theatre.
2.Next, you need to research some facts about The Globe Theater. You should choose around 5-7 facts. Be sure that some of these facts highlight the relationship between Shakespeare and the theatre itself. You will be required to choose 3-5 facts and write a brief 1-2 page summary about them. At least one of them should focus on the relationship between Shakespeare and The Globe Theatre. Note: You MUST cite ALL of your sources in MLA format.
3.Finally, you are to choose one scene from a play we have, or will cover in class this year. Be sure to have this approved by me as well. You will then be required to make a short video imitating the scene. After the video, prepare a short 1-2 minute oral presentation on what the typical audience would be like for this scene in 1600. Be creative! Video can follow an interpretation of a scene, not simply repeat it. Note: Be sure to cite your sources in MLA. Also you can rent a Digital Camera from the lab.

This lesson was developed as an assignment for an Educational Technology course at The University of Akron. The goal was to create a webquest that ultimately informed the students about the important relationship between Shakespeare, The Globe Theater, and plays during 1600.
The lesson is to introduce an important, and often forgotten, dynamic of Shakespeare plays. So often, we focus to heavily on Shakespeare plays as only a work of literature. By doing this, we abandon a very important dynamic of Shakespeare, that is that they were written to be played on stage. Ultimately, it is important that establish continuity between Shakespeare as a great work of literature, and a great play. Therefore, the students will explore this concept by researching “The Globe Theater,” and Shakespeare, in the context of their relationship. Students then will choose a scene and create a short video that demonstrates a scene, but also explains possible perception of that scene.

Describe the grade level and course that the lesson is designed to cover. For example: "This lesson is anchored in seventh grade language arts and involves social studies and math to a lesser extent." If the lesson can easily be extended to additional grades and subjects, mention that briefly here as well.
This lesson is designed for 11th and 12th grade students. It is rooted in Language Arts, but also requires history and research as well.
Describe what the learners will need to know prior to beginning this lesson. Limit this description to the most critical skills that could not be picked up on the fly as the lesson is given.
The learners should have a fundamental base of who Shakespeare was. Prior to this assignment the learners should be given a presentation on Shakespeare and The Globe Theater. This will give them a solid base that will enable them to complete this assignment. Students must also follow ethical guidelines and be briefed on MLA format, plagiarism, and the honor code.

Variations: This particular assignment will likely take around 4-5 class periods. Students will be given two weeks to complete the assignment, and should work on during the allotted class periods. They should also work on the project outside of class time, utilizing the school library and computer lab. Lesson is best given in a laboratory setting. If in regular classroom be sure to demonstrate webquest on smart-board, and print out slides for students as well.

Finally, I look to demonstrate the importance of this lesson. First off, Shakespeare is very difficult to understand at times. Much of it was based off of the culture, language, and style of the time. Therefore, we often have some trouble teaching it in modern terms.
This lesson is meant to introduce students to view Shakespeare from a different perspective. In the end, they will develop a base that will enable them to see Shakespeare from a different perspective. Moreover, students will develop and practice their writing, researching, and technological skills through the duration of this presentation. Lastly, the students will practice digital citizenship through the application of it to this product.
