Welcome to the
'Romeo & Juliet' Literature enquiry
page to support your Assessment
You may need to use a variety of resources to complete this assessment task. This could include both print resources (printed books, journals, articles) and digital resources (web searches, databases, online encyclopaedias). Print resources have already had their credentials checked when they go through the editing process so the information is all ready to be used. This makes them a useful tool in the search for information as you can use these resources without wondering if the information is actually correct!
CHSLibrary staff have curated (brought together) some print resources for you which are held at the Library Desk for you to use. Your teacher may borrow these on behalf of the class or send you over to use them. Click here to search for books. Please ask if you are unsure where these books are located - Library Staff are here to help.

A quick way to find out more about the following themes:
Using a clustering search engine such as Carrot2 rather than relying on a JGI (Just Google It) approach is a more time effective strategy. You will still need to assess the websites you find for suitability but it clusters the results in a meaningful way that can provide additional feedback as well as a more comprehensive search of the web. Assess your sites using the CRAP test. :)
- changing love stories over time
- marriage in Shakespeare's time compared with now

What sites to use to help you research:
Use Stuff to search for modern comparison articles
e.g. use search keyword 'marriage' to find modern marriage articles Use this searching tool to find information on your chosen topic. You can search directly in the box above.
Any site you find that has 'wiki' in it (Wikipedia, WikiHow etc.) has many contributors and sometimes includes information that is not wholly reputable. It is best to use other resources for anything other than an overview or launching pad for your enquiry. |
