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!
