  =**The Controversy of Shakespeare's Writings **=

__**Objective**__**:**
There have always been many controversies about Shakespeare. I would like to concentrate on the debate about if Shakespeare really wrote his works. My end goal is for us to develop different theories about it. I will gather facts and other theories about the specific controversy and add them to this page. We can use this information to form our own opinions.

__**Presentation Format**__**:**
In order to show both perspectives of the "Shakespeare Controversy," Courtney has volunteered to help in a a role-play presentation. One of us will be Shakespeare and the other will be his adversary. Both will try to convince the class of who //really// wrote all of "Shakespeare's" works.

__**Equipment**__**:**
I will need a computer, internet access, and a projector with a big screen. Plus I'll need some opinions from the class if we're having a class discussion!

__**Evaluation**__**:**
1. **Sources**: I want at least three sources that have facts that say Shakespeare //did// write his works. Then, at least three sources that have facts that say Shakespeare did //not// write his works. 2. **Organization**: The audience can easily view and understand the information. The facts from the two sides of this debate are organized separately from one another. 3. **Presentation Skills**: Does the audience understand what I'm saying? Do I properly interact with my audience?
