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
|
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.
DUE: May 14
Include
the Web Address (URL).

Group
Activities:
You were
assigned to one of
5
groups
on the first class meeting. Your group determines
when your response and questions are due for each
play. For example, for Harold, a
response to the play (with one question) from
Group 4
is due
Wed. May
1,
Group 5, Thurs. May 5, Group 1 Fri. May 3 , etc.
Always check the
CALENDAR
to see when your response is due for any given
week.
|
For each
play:
1) Read
Preview
2) See
Video.
3) On the
Bulletin Board post a Response to one of the
Questions on the NOTES for each play. Post in the
proper FORUM. (The two Forums for this unit are
Raisin and Woolf?)
First
come first
serve.
Once a question has been selected by a classmate,
you must choose another question.
4)
Attach at
least one of your own questions at the end of your
response -- one that occurred to you as you watched
the video. Include this question in your Response
on the Bulletin Board. Respond to your classsmates'
responses and questions. Read every response.
Participation is 25% of your grade.
5)
Post your
Response by due date for your group.
6)
Search the
Web for each
play.
Submit a
report.
