We will begin our Shakespeare Unit by creating Story Kit “books” on our iPads. This assignment includes ipad research of information, gathering of pictures, and a script for voice recordings.

Each student will be responsible for creating her own “book” about some aspect of Shakespeare, his works, his life, the Elizabethan life and culture, and/or the Globe Theater.

(A) The project will include:
 * 5 story book pages
 * at least two voice recordings per page (each recording can be up to 1 min)
 * mulitple applicable pictures to show your topic
 * consistency and continuity within the project
 * informative material but not too lengthy

(B) In addition to and before the project, each student will meet and utilize the ipads to research all materials needed to work actively on the project. She will need to save pictures to the camera roll of her ipad, collect relevant materials for research to post onto the story book pages with words, and create small, short scripts in order to record information also.

April 29: work with the ipads on research and preparation for the work day on Tuesday.
