Mrs. Paschall's English Classes

Elizabethan England � People in Power

You are the new Director of Communications in England. Your task is to make sure your clients understand who their leaders are and why they are in power. You should focus on Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I. You can either answer these questions through a (1) letter to the kingdom (see pp. 1063-5 in your lit book for examples), (2) a brochure, or (3) any other creative way that you propose to Mrs. Paschall. Simply make sure to print out your final version and turn it in.

Be sure to answer these questions:
What is Elizabeth's family background?
How did she come to power?
What are some of her accomplishments as queen?

You may use the following official sources. You may also use any other
reliable and credible sources you can find. Keep a record of your sources, and place them on a Works Cited page when you are finished.
