Elizabethan Age activities?

[Lorna]

My son (aged 10) is studying the Elizabethan Age using literature. I would really like some fun activity pages to go along with his reading. Does anyone know of any good pages online?
Many thanks

I know you asked for activities, but this is a collection of her own writings. I really enjoyed reading them. My dd7 is in love with that era now. :D

I recently finished reading The Life of Elizabeth I, by Alison Weir. It was a very fascinating look at her whole life. These quotes are really wonderful to read. There is a great deal of insight she had into the human condition. Though I would not have lived her life for anything.

Warmly,
Kate
