DIRECTIONS

=__DIRECTIONS __=

You and your peers are now in charge of creating a full overview of William Shakespeare's //The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet// on this Wiki Space. You will be assigned a group, a topic, and will need to complete a series of tasks. You will have four complete days in the computer lab to work on this, but the beauty of a Wikispace is that you can work on this anywhere you have access to the Internet.

Your Tasks:
>   > > 
 * 1) Memorize a quotation from the play. You will choose your own quotation to memorize. It should be a //minimum// of 10 lines. You have the choice of: Juliet, Romeo, Mercutio, Friar, Nurse, Lady Capulet, Capulet, or Prince Escalus. Be sure to also memorize the Act, scene and line numbers because that is how you will be introducing the quotation. Your "script" might start like this: "I will be reading as the nurse from Act I, scene V, lines 130-142."
 * 1)  Schedule a time in the computer lab to videotape your memorized quotation. Then go to the link on the left **VIDEOTAPES** and embed your link.
 * 1) Go to the link in the navigation bar on the left that says **BIOGRAPHIES**. Choose one of the characters and add a SIX-WORD biography for him or her. See the samples on the page.
 * 2) Complete the page you have been assigned with your partner or small group. See those guidelines below.

Your Schedule:
DAY 1, TUESDAY >  DAY 2, WEDNESDAY  DAY 3, THURSDAY >  DAY 4, FRIDAY

 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif">In the computer lab, your group should begin putting together your page. Only one person can add/edit/save information at a time, so you need to use your time wisely. Remember, you have individual tasks to complete as well. Part of your grade for this project is based on your time management and group management skills.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif">Continue working on your page. A different person should be in charge of adding or editing information so that each person in the group has time to work on the individual tasks.
