Before I get to England and begin my project I think it would be best if declared the purpose of the project and set some goals.
The main purpose of this project is to come to my own educated conclusion based on intense research on the topic of whether King Richard III of England was truly the villain William Shakespeare made him out to be. Through watching of movies, reading of novels, reading textbooks, resources available on the internet, and visiting the locations associated with Richard I hope to come to a concrete opinion of Richard's reputation. Here are some sources I plan on using.
The Lives of the Kings
& Queens of England by Antonia Fraser
The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman
The Richard
III Society
BBC's page on Richard III
My main goal is to update the blog at least once a day during my stay in England. I acknowledge that this may not be possible because of the long road trips that require sitting in traffic for hours on end. If I do not meet the quota for the day I plan on posting twice the next day. My second goal is to focus on the topic at hand. I tend to get distracted and the amount of information I will have to sift through will be very tempted to investigate further upon. My last goal is to have fun. Yes this is technically a school project but I get to travel to England (which just so happens to be my favorite country!), visit my sister, and research a topic that is an obsession of mine. I can't wait to see how the trip and project go.
