Web
Search:
There's a
wealth of info about these great plays and their
authors. As you respond to each play, search the
web for biographical data, themes, production
history or how the play has been transformed into
opera, symphony, previous movie adaptations,
etc. etc.
etc.
|
My favorite search engines are:
northernlight.com
google.com
Type in either the title
of the play , the playwright's name, or the names
of one of the actors, director, etc., click search
and you're on your way.
What ae you searching
for?
Look for
something that might have been included in a class
lecture /discussion -- or just something that
especially interested you.
|
Do not just download a
page from a site.
Summarize
what you learned about one of the plays in
the unit in your own
words and post a 1 page
report in Discussions -- Topic: "Web Search - Gr.
1,2,3," etc.

the Web Address (URL).

Paper #
3

As with Units1 and 2, you've all
participated in the on-line discussions, so you
have lots of ideas for a paper. Click back to
the
NOTES for each of the plays
and select one topic from any of the three plays
and write a 2 - 3 page paper. As before, give your
classmates credit if you use their ideas and
footnote all information obtained from the Web.
Remember: focus on the analysis of your topic, not
plot re-narration. Review Instructions for Paper
