Question

Team up with a partner and analyze Shakespeare's The Tempest. You must work independently to create annotations defining and explaining unfamiliar words in two different scenes. Then you will trade scenes, read your partner's annotations, and write a paragraph explaining how your partner's scene reveals Shakespeare's views on colonialism or imperialism.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
At least 20 annotations that define words modern readers (including your partner) are unlikely to know
At least two annotations that explain the history, or etymology, of a word
At least two annotations that explain how to pronounce a word
A paragraph about your partner's scene that analyzes Shakespeare's message about colonialism or imperialism in The Tempest

Answer 1

Team up with a partner and analyze Shakespeare's The Tempest. You must work independently to create annotations defining and explaining unfamiliar words in two different scenes. Then you will trade scenes, read your partner's annotations, and write a paragraph explaining how your partner's scene reveals Shakespeare's views on colonialism or imperialism. If you're studying in a solo classroom, you may complete the activity by choosing a scene and annotating it. Then, write a paragraph analyzing how your scene shows Shakespeare's views on colonialism or imperialism. Working in a low-tech environment? If you don't have access to a word processing program that allows you to cut, paste, and add footnotes to a text, see your teacher for guidance about how to create your annotations. You can always write them out by hand on a separate sheet of paper, for example.Mariners- [mar-uh-ner] Middle English; sailor. Topsail- A sail on a ships topmast
