Students will discover historical and background information about Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. They will use software to create an Italian Renaissance masquerade party. Students will compose an invitation, a guest list (of characters from the play, appropriately grouped according to Capulet or Montague family lines), a dinner menu, a fashion guide, and a list of entertainment for the affair. The following software may be used for this project: Publisher, Inspiration, Print Shop, and Power Point. Annotation #5 explains the web quest in more detail. This web quest includes cross-curricular links to social studies, music, dance, art history, architecture, and culinary arts.
