Referate Testbericht

Hallo!

Ich weiß zwar nicht ganz ob sich mein Bericht in der richtigen Kategorie befindet aber ich wollte euch gerne von einem Referat auch meiner Schulzeit berichten. Vielleicht muss ja hier der ein oder andere ein ähnliches Thema behandeln undkann hier einige Informationen entnehmen :)
Also los gehts =)

Vor ungefähr einem halben Jahr hatten wir das Thema Shakespeare in unserem Englischunterricht. Wir haben uns mit einigen seiner Werke wie z.B. Macbeth und der Zeit in der er gelebt hat beschäftigt.
Unsere Lehrerin stellte uns verschiedene Themen zur Auswahl über die wir dann Minireferat vorbereiten sollen ( Minreferat heisst ein Referat mit der Dauer von ungefähr 10 Minuten).
Ich habe mich für das Thema : Golden Age- Herrschaft von Königin Elisabeth beschäftigt.
Sinn dieses Referates sollte sein, dass man einen generellen Überlick bekommt, wer Elisabeth war und was sie gemacht hat.
Dieses Referat wollte ich nun veröffentlichen. Es ist zwar in Stichpunken und auf Englisch aber ich denke man kommt doch einigermaßen gut zurecht.

Also hier ist es:

Queen Elizabeth

- born near London in 1533 at Greenwich palace
- father was Henry, mother was Anne Boleyn
- Henry \"6 wives\" Anne was the second one
- Together with his first woman he had a daughter- Marry
- But Henry wanted a male heir
- Asked the pope to annul the marriage=>pope refused
=> Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and set
up his own church in England
- Married Anne => disappointed child is another girl- named
Elizabeth
- Before Elizabeth was 3 years her mother was executed
- Henrys third wife gave birth to a son- Edward
- She died after his death
- When Edward was 10 his father died =>came to the throne as king Edward
- He and Elizabeth were both brought up in Henrys new church
- Edward had never been a strong child=>tuberculosis, died at the age of 15
- succeeded by Marry; brought up a Roman Catholic
- became Queen made the Catholism state religion
- married to Prince Phillip of Spain=> more unpopular
- persecuted Protestants saw Elizabeth as their only savoir
- Marry suspected E. of plotting with Protestants to gain the throne and had her imprisoned in the Tower of London
- M. died suddenly and E. finally became Queen

At the beginning of E. reign: England was in despair

- Country had been weakened by war and religious strife
- Treasury was empty
- Spain and France were powerful=>both wanted to rule England

Elizabeth\'s reign is often called GOLDEN AGE - time of great achievement and prosperity

- First order of business was to eliminate religious unrest
- In religious matters E. steered a middle course between C. and P.
- Restored the P. service but retained manly features of Catholism
- Hoped compromise would produce unity in the state
- Many Catholics were not reconciled
- Her main concern was the peace and stability of the state
- religious persecution only when certain religious groups threaded this peace
- Wanted a church that would appeal to both C. and P.
- Unfortunately many C. did not share the view of toleration
- They were cruelly persecuted and many were put to death
- E. was largely successful because in 1603 population were generally P. minority C.
- But most important person in Europe pope in his Vatican in Rome
- Catolism was still the dominant European religion
- Even in non catholic states (for example England) pope had a great influence


Elisabeth\'s intellectual interests were broad

- loved horse ride and she also loved to hunt
=> Hunting was an event and would take several hours so the Queen
and her courtiers would often have a picnic in the forest
- had no concept of animal cruelty=> enjoyed many of violent animal sports
=>bear baiting
- Queen also enjoyed to watch sports for example tennis
- She loved the outdoors and was especially fond of taking long walks in her
beautiful gardens
- Everybody in England loved music
- Elizabeth was a skilled musician and enjoyed musical entertainments
- Encouraged musicians and composers
- Fond of dancing, liked tossing
- She was also a patron of arts and literature
- Loved watching plays or dramatic performances
- Had her own company of actors called \"The Queens Players\"
- She was also a gifted scholar and loved learning
- Studied two or three hours a day
- Could speak five languages
- loved to translate classic works into English
- also liked to write poetry

- her love of music, drama and poetry fostered an atmosphere in which many of England\'s greatest writers found encouragement

- Prince Phillip finally decided to attack and conquer England in 1588
- great Armada was sent into the English channel
- England defeated the Spanish Armada after nine days battle
=>great triumph for Elizabeth because she proved that she as a woman could lead in
war as well as any man

- the first settlers were sent to America to open the way for a great colonial empire
- England\'s economy flourished
- In 1599 England entered the arena of world trade and colonization


- Elizabeth never married nor had any children
\"I have already joined myself in marriage to a husband,
namely the kingdom of England\"
- \"Better beggar woman and single than Queen and married.\"
- Because she had not any children the people were anxious about what would happen with the country when she died



- After her death

- all the religious troubles had largely disappeared
- England was now a first class power
- She created a country that was the envy of Europe
- Elizabeth is also known as the \"Virgin Queen\" or \"Gloriana\"


Unsere Lehrerin legt auch immer viel wert darauf, dass wir für die anderen Schülern ein kurzes Handout zusammenstellen d.h., dass wir die wichtigsten Punkte in unserem Referat für die anderen herausschreiben.
Hier ist noch mein Handout. Eigentlich ist hier noch ein Foto von der Königin abgebildet. Dieses Foto stelle ich aber noch extra zu diesem Bericht hereib.
