The Context of Shakespearean Drama

The Context of Shakespearean Drama

In Shakespeare's time, the Renaissance was a time of learning, ideas were revived from Rome and classical Greece and spread across Europe. Since there were lots of new ideas, lots of talented artists and creators were born, for example, Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Donatello and of course Shakespeare. The reason Shakespeare became so popular was because there was a big surge in poems and entertainment such as plays and Shakespeare was a really good writer of plays and poems. 

Queen Elizabeth I became the Queen in 1558 6 years before Shakespeare was born so a lot of his plays and poems were influenced by this. This was mainly to look good to the higher beings because back then being King or Queen was second to God, so a big deal. But also he had to appeal to the groundlings too so he added some humour to appeal to all so everyone would like and enjoy his plays. Religion was also a big factor in his writing because England was a Catholic country until 1533 when Henry VIII broke away from the church because he couldn't divorce his wife. Henry then went on to create a protestant church. After a while of back and forth with Catholics and Protestants it became split so Shakespeare related to this debate in some of his plays. 

Not the Ninja Turtles!

 

This is a slide about different renaissance artists of Shakespeare's time because we are learning about the time so we can better understand Romeo and Juliet and this slide is some cool fact's i have learnt.

Final Learning Reflection week 9

1. Planning

Our Project Planner link

Looking back at the planning we did at the start, I think that we did not want

to do it but we still did it and I'm

kinda glad that we did

Having had the experience of this project, if I were planning another project I

would try to do more research

and do less mucking around

2. Process

Links to our Group Planners:

• Week 5

• Week 6

• Week 7

• Week 8

• Week 9

Time management and workflow

Looking back at how well we planned and then recorded each week's and

day's work and managed our time, I think we did as much as we could but some days there was nothing

we could put down so its bland

Another time, I would add more to them

Collaborative skills

Considering how our group managed our relationships, discussions, decisions, and

the way we shared out and contributed to the work, I think it was vary fun doing a big group project

In future, I would love to do a better subject

3. Research

Our Research Process

Looking at our research and comparing it to what other groups did, I think we did

not do much but all that we did get was enough to get a good presentation

Another time, I would do more on looks and overall better the questions

4. Planning and Preparing our Presentation

Our Presentation Ideas link

Looking back now at how we planned and prepared our presentation, I think we

should of made it more apeling but other than that we did well

Another time, I would get someone artist to look at it and help us

5. Showcase Day

Our Presentation (Final Product/s)

Here is our link to the slides

Looking back on Showcase Day, you might want to consider some of the following questions:

What worked well for Showcase Day, and why?

I was at the stand talking to people who asked and it was super fun and it helped our project a lot

What didn't work well and why?

the presentation was not very good

Did you vote on the projects?

no did not have any time as I was at the stand

Did you have a team member with your display at all times?

me it was me

Why or why not?

I love talking to people so

Did you stay and talk about your project?

I talked about the project and our questions and about what we did in this class and how i felt about it

Were you able to answer visitor questions?

it was easy because I learnt a lot about it when i researched it and i have a lot of general knowledge

My positives for Showcase Day were I got to talk to lots of people because I love being interested in

people and listening to their ideas

Another time, I would not change much just what question we do and talk more
