Note that the Broadway and Fandango sites do have advertisements and ticket sales.
- Preview the Virtual tour from the Shakespeare's Globe Website and ensure that you have the appropriate software and plug-ins installed. If possible, obtain a projector to display the tour to the class. If this is not possible, bookmark the site on each computer that students will be using.
- Arrange for student access to computers and Internet in Session One and for any other additional research time.
- Prepare copies of the Commercial Presentation Planning Sheet and Commercial Presentation Rubric.
- Print one copy of the Product List for Commercials, cut it into strips, and place the strips in a box, bag, or hat for student drawings.
- Print the Theater Comparison Instructions and Resources or make it available online.
