Try to create a  gossip or curiosities/fun facts magazine about the three characters:  here is a link where you can learn how to create a magazine, you'll find tutorials, too. Choose one of them and create a magazine about  Henry VIII's private life, or  fun facts about Elizabeth I or Shakespeare, that you have found in the thinglink tour or  you have searched in the web, on your own!

After you have explored and used all the apps I suggested,create an e-book (collaborative) where to add everything,
