Homework - Shakespeare Research

Thank you for your patience with our iPad lesson - you were one of the first classes to use these useful resources so difficulties were anticipated and noted for future reference.

As we had a few teething problems, here is this week's homework for the end of the week, to be posted on your Blog:

Research who Shakespeare was using the page at http://www.tinyurl.com/deyesenglish

I would also like some in depth research into Shakespeare's own theatre and some interesting information on this :-) You may need to do some web research on some other websites for this,

8H homework should be completed without copy and pasting but using facts and statistics from reliable sources.

Therefore, I would like two sections to your blogposting:

1. Who was Shakespeare?

2. The Globe Theatre

This should be thorough with links to what websites you have read at the bottom of your homework: This is what we call a bibliography, as it shows where you have gotten your information from. Your work should be a few hundred words so if you have only done a handful of sentences, you will need to revise your post.

Year 7 and 8 Table Tennis Club

Following the recent success of the U16 Girls team in the Merseyside Schools tournament, we are looking to get more U13 Girls (Year 7 and 8) into the sport.

We are holding a new table tennis night on a Thursday. For those who do other sports on a Thursday you may find you can come to table tennis before you go to your other activity.

The year 9 girls are going to offer coaching as well give every pupil who turns up their own time using the training robot - FUN!

Limited spaces, we're only going to allow the first 8 pupils on Thursday so get there as early as you can as the whole point is to keep it a bit calmer than the often chaotic Monday night session that regularly gets 25+ attending.

Any questions come and see me
