Elizabethan Daily Times
You will be putting together an edition of The Elizabethan Daily Times. This paper will be put together just like a regular paper would with sections like Sports, Life, People, World News, Local News, etc. In these sections, you will be giving us information about various people, places, important events, scientific discoveries, fashion, entertainment, etc. You may also include an Elizabethan comics section. Be Creative!!!!!!
You will not be writing a number of individual reports; you will be writing individual articles that will include enough information to show your knowledge about that topic. For example, to show your knowledge about Henry VIII, you can put an article in the People section or the front page describing how he recently beheaded his 4th wife and was seen courting another woman. Or, in a advice column, you may answer a question concerning what to do in case someone you love seems to be coming down with the plague.
This could be put into either writen form or a powerpoint presentation(on-line newspaper). The following links below are a good place to start.
