Introduction

The purpose of this project is to offer students a break from everyday classroom activity and an opportunity to accept responsibility in directing their own education.  Through this self guided webquest, students will research William Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and the recently reconstructed and reopened Globe Theatre.  A look into the related links will help guide students toward information about the Globe's past and present history.
 
 

The Process

There are two aspects of this process, each explained below and in the order they should be completed.

   Task 1: Research and complete the questions in the following section on
                 William Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre.  Use the related links to
                 find the correct answers.

   Task 2: Considering the information you have accessed before you attempt
                 to tackle this next task, you should be very familiar with who Sam
                 Wanamaker is.  Your goal is to construct a virtual timeline from the
                 beginning of Sam Wanamaker's efforts to the completion and
                 reopening of the Globe Theatre.  Use all media available (i.e.
                 Hyperstudio, Powerpoint, etc.).
 
 

Task 1: Question Sheet
 
 

Evaluation

Describe to the learners how their performance will be evaluated. Specify whether there will be a common grade for group work vs. individual grades.
