Toxophilus Unleashed!

Read pages 48-56/86-94 in the TLC book (read carefully for understanding, not for completion) and apply one of the techniques enumerated therein (pp. 48-56/86-94) to the Toxophilus excerpt from this book written by Roger Ascham in 1545 and dedicated to King Henry VIII. Explain how the technique you used helps make the piece more accessible to a 21st century audience.

I've linked the Toxophilus excerpt in a Google Docs version so you can copy the text into your Google Docs or Word if you wish. Using tables, you can do the graphic organizer on Google Docs and you can annotate using comments. You may wish to bring something in done by hand, though. Not sure if you can circle and draw arrows in the way you may wish to in a Google Doc. I do encourage you to try your hand at the graphic organizer.


Enjoy your trip back into the scientific observations and practical concerns of the mid-Sixteenth Century England!

Due Thursday in class.
