Creative Elizabethan project ideas please?
Hi
Me and my friend are doing a project on elizabethan england and we desperately need info and layout ideas…
originally we had done it as a leaflet and then a girl in my class came in with a massive poster which was laid out as a tray with plates, cups, cutlery, napkins, menu (not real obivously) etc….. (they were doing elizabethan food)
can we have ideas for a great project please layout and lots of info!
we thought about doing an elizabethan street and u open up each house and it would tell you something about it. you could extend on our idea or give us a better one.
we are in yr 9
please help me
lots of detail please
You could do a slideshow using prezi.com. It is an online presentation tool, you have to sign up for an account but it is 100% free. You can put info and pics together and present your project that way.
However, I am not sure that this is the answer you are looking for. If you wanted to do something you can physically touch like the examples of which you are speaking, you could try something like a theatre. The people of this era we’re greatly influenced by art and the theatre. You could have a small model theatre and have info in each part. Stuff to do with the rich in the area that the rich would sit in (politics, art). Stuff related to the poor in the poor section.
Also related to this idea you could write a kind of Elizabethan play that detailed what life would be like in this time period.
The street idea is also a good idea and to add to that you could have stuff outside the house like beggars and piles of sewage with info attached to them to explain their significance.
