Methods and Strategies for
Classroom Incorporation:
1.
1. This
program would be excellent not only for students to use on their own
but also
as a resource for the teacher to use during the introduction to the
Shakespeare
unit required in all high school English classrooms.
2.
2. The
program offers lots of interactive information and photos along with a
complete
Shakespearian dictionary that could be useful when reading and
interpreting his
writings.
3.
3. Students
could use this program as a source for writing research papers and
reading
Shakespeare.
4.
4. Evaluations
would consist more of a monitoring of usage since students are expected
to use
this program for exploration and personal knowledge rather than as a
tutorial.
5. 5. This could be used as a group or classroom usage program since it offers the chance for students to explore further into this period of literature rather than write or develop individualized knowledge.
