This document outlines a lesson plan for a class of 20 high school seniors on Shakespeare. The teacher will have students experience a recreation of the Globe Theatre in Secondlife and follow Shakespeare quotes on Twitter. Students will then create a Pinterest board to pin 10 things about Shakespeare. Most of the work will be done by students using Secondlife, Twitter, and Pinterest on computers provided. To evaluate the lesson, students will complete the online activities and write a one-page paper reflecting on their experience learning about Shakespeare through technology.

Day 5
A: Analyze the Learners
This is a class of twenty high school seniors. Twelve of them are Caucasian, and eight of them
are African American. None of them have learning or physical disabilities. Three of them have
ADHD.
S: State Objectives
For the final day of our Shakespeare studies, I want to try and tie some real-world technology in
with Shakespeare, keeping up with the “Is Shakespeare relevant” theme. After we have studied
his life, sonnets, and one of his plays, I want students to enjoy some of his work stress-free and
learn a little more about his world. So, the first thing I will do is recreate the Globe Theatre,
where Shakespeare’s plays were originally performed, in Secondlife. I will show students on the
smartboard and they will make accounts as well to join me there. Second, I will have students
follow the twitter handle @Shakespeare_IQ, which tweets multiple Shakespeare quotes a day.
Thirdly, I will have the students create a Pinterest account and use it to pin at least ten things
about Shakespeare.
S: Select the 3 M’s (Method, Media, Materials)
Most of this work will be done amongst the students, so I will just make sure they have the
materials they need. The media will be Secondlife, Twitter, and Pinterest. All they will need is a
computer.

2. U: Utilize Media and Materials
The students will be receiving the benefit of the media and materials. They will experience a
different worl within Secondlife, and then use familiar tools, like social networking, to get a
better grasp on Shakespeare. I would prepare the materials and ideas, then teach it. The students
listen, participate, and learn.
R: Require Learner Participation
The students will participate in Secondlife, twitter, and pinterest.
E: Evaluate and Revise
My evaluation for this lesson will be based on the completion of the activities listed above, as
well as a short, one-page paper detailing what they liked and did not like about the unit, as well
as the most interesting thing they learned.
