Progress on Banner Borders

We have made a lot of progress on the borders for the banners. Here are some of the digitized ones.

 

Hang out our banners on the outward walls;
The cry is still 'They come:' our castle's strength
Will laugh a siege to scorn: here let them lie
Till famine and the ague eat them up:
Were they not forced with those that should be ours,
We might have met them dareful, beard to beard,
And beat them backward home.

Macbeth, Macbeth, Act V, Scene V

Elizabethan Clothing Research Grid

Here is the research grid that the grade 6 class used, under the direction of Janet Taylor, to learn about Elizabethan clothing.

Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks,
Shall win my love; and so I take my leave,
In resolution as I swore before.

Hortensio, Taming Of The Shrew, Act IV, Scene II

Shakespeare Said...

As many of you might know, the ELO students who were meeting here at G.V. made and decorated a book called "Shakespeare Said...". And now, since it's bound and dried, we can post pictures!

So above is the cover, the ink and vines are done (like everything else) by ELO students

Below are random pages from the book.

Save base authority from others' books

These earthly godfathers of heaven's lights

That give a name to every fixed star

Have no more profit of their shining nights

Than those that walk and wot not what they are.

Too much to know is to know nought but fame;

And every godfather can give a name.

Biron, Love's Labour's Lost, Act I, Scene I

Costume Design By Grade 6

The Grade 6 Class have been working on Elizabethan costumes. They researched costumes and now they are creating their very own on sewing machines.

They also did research on upper and lower class clothing. They drew and coloured there pieces and now we're here to blog-i-fy them!

...Yes, there are a lot of them.

Ta-da! And that's what the grade 6 class has been doing for the last couple weeks!

Doubt not
The commoners, for whom we stand, but they
Upon their ancient malice will forget
With the least cause these his new honours, which
That he will give them make I as little question
As he is proud to do't. 

Sicinius Velutus, Coriolanus, Act II, Scene I
