Life in Elizabethan England

100 point speech assignment



You will research one area of life in Elizabethan England (Queen Elizabeth ruled
from 1558-1603; William Shakespeare lived from 1564-1616) and present your
findings in a dynamic 3-to-5 minute presentation next week. You should focus on
the six most interesting facts from your research and prepare a speech in which you
educate and entertain your audience.
Your speech must include a visual aid, in the form of either a powerpoint or prezi.
Requirements:
Visual aid must include at least six slides (or clicks, if using Prezi)
No more than 50 total words on the visual aid (most of the info should come
from you, not from the slides)
Each person may use one notecard with a few key phrases written on it
A properly formated works cited page must be turned in (we will go over
these guidelines in class. For now, be sure to keep track of all of you
research, including titles and addresses of web pages!)
The presentation should be between 2.5 and 5 minutes in length (speeches
less than 2.5 minutes will be deducted 20 points)

I will provide a rubric for you in the coming days.

Now, lets decide who is researching which topic.
