Once you have posted Part One of your assignment, Part Two will appear.
Now identify another tavern, district, palace, or other feature of London in the map. How would you direct Hal, Falstaff, Poins, Peto, Mistress Quickly, or Bardolph from Eastcheap OR the Boar’s Head Tavern (there are several: pick whichever you choose) to the tavern, district, market, or palace you have chosen?
Include in your directions landmarks to help your particular character find his or her way. You may include explanations of why you’ve chosen those particular landmarks (for example, Falstaff might like to know where all the taverns are en route; Bardolph might need to visit the ironmonger).
You may write your directions in blank verse if you feel so inclined, or produce a screencast or an audio recording.

Now pick a partner and, using his or her directions and the Map of Early Modern London, try to draw a map of your own from Eastcheap to your partner’s location. Scan and upload your map, or link to it if you have made a Google mash-up.
Reflect upon the difficulties you encountered and how you dealt with them. Write a 300-word post that combines this reflection with your thoughts about London in
Read your classmates’ postings, grad and undergrad. Can you add any landmarks to the undergraduates’ routes, in 150-200 words? Include a word count at the end of your posting.
Additional option for Graduate Students: If you chose a London location, investigate how you might contribute to MoEML! Would you have anything to offer the Library? The Encyclopedia? The Map? Take a screenshot of your application or paste in the draft of your email to MoEML’s director. If you chose Gad’s Hill for your location, make a 2-minute screencast of the information you found from your early modern map. Include an image from the early printed text and talk us through it, or take us on a
