Elizabethan England
In this major assignment you will individually
practice the skill of writing a research paper and presenting an overview of
your topic in a 3-minute speech to the class. You will research a topic from
the Elizabethan Era at home and at school. Once you have completed your
research and formulated an opinion, you will write an essay (maximum of 3 pages)
explaining what you feel was the significance of your topic. You will also
organize your ideas and practice your public speaking skills by preparing a
class presentation on your research. Remember, learning to research, write, and
present well is hard work! To do this assignment, you will need to complete the
following steps:
Part I Research: Research
your topic. A minimum of 4 sources and 20 note cards are required.

critical pieces that made your topic significant.

paragraphs.
