Students are going to be the experts after researching a very specific aspect of European history, spanning from Medieval to Renaissance times. Students are going to be given an opportunity to research this time period and then propose what they would like to explore and teach the class about. Students are to act as tutorial leaders whose objective/purpose is to provide peers with a historical/cultural/social/political/religious context for Shakespeare's play, HAMLET. Given the breadth of the task, students are able to choose a topic within this historical time frame that they will enjoy exploring based on their own personal interests. The task is outlined in the handout entitled Tutorials: Hamlet. The success criteria for the task is also included in this handout, as well as a project timeline.
Students are asked to work in pairs or in small groups of three (but no more than three!).
Students can use the resources listed on The Best History Sites website:
http://www.besthistorysites.net/index.php/medieval-history/europe
http://www.besthistorysites.net/index.php/early-modern-europe/renaissance
Another interesting site...focuses on Macbeth but lots of relevant information for Hamlet too!\
Seminars will run on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
