Templates

We are now at a point in our project where we will start to write the articles about our chosen books, authors, etc. Therefore we started to discuss what information should be included or left out, since we only want to give a general overview. This is the template we came up with:

Authors – Template

Name

Date of birth/place of birth

Family background (children, wife/husband)

Education

Profession (if other than writer)

Famous works

Additional information (e.g. Synge’s religious mother, heavy drinker)

Information on work – Template

Summary – full text (150 words)

Name

Publishing date

Place

Reactions

Era - Template

Dates

Background information

Main stylistic devices

Famous and most influential authors and books

In addition we will post links or book titles that we come across in our research as further reading recommendations, which can be used to get more details on the respective topic. We also decided to limit the actual summary of the plot to a 150 words, in order to keep it brief and not too extensive. These templates and guidelines might also be helpful when we decide to invite other students to contribute to our side, so that all articles can follow roughly the same pattern.
