PRE-CUE
FOR TREASON
This
page is intended for my secondary II English class. We are currently reading
the novel Cue For Treason. Before beginning the novel, students
must first have some knowledge of the Elizabethan Period, The Globe Theatre,
and William Shakespeare. Other important historical figures in this novel
are Christopher Marlowe and Queen Elizabeth I. Students will be asked to
do some research on the above topics. Students can do this in groups, and
only one topic needs to be researched per group. Students will share their
information with the class. The following will be some excellent links
for them to begin!
