Drama and Poetry Shakespeare, Ben Johnson –VolponeChristopher Marlowe - Dr FaustusPhilip Sydney- Arcadia, Edmund Spencer-The Faerie Queene When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself, and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possessed, Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee,—and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate; For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings

13. Head to Head – Why did the Armada Fail? This is a fun activity for groups of 3 to sit opposite the table to another group of three.  Each group represents one side of an argument.  One of the pupils on one side advances an argument which their opposite number has to counter with an idea of their own.  It then passes to the next person in the group who does the same..
14. Walter Raleighttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roanoke _Colony On March 25, 1584, Queen Elizabeth I granted Sir Walter Raleigh a charter for the colonization of the area of North America known as Virginia.

15. Horrible History- life at sea- but not a deterrent! Richard Hakluyt We all know that pupils love gore, toilets etc., so why not appeal to this interest and ask pupils to record their ideas in the form of a Terry Deary Horrible History.  Clearly you will need to model the genre with them first.,
