“opening night For Earnest!”

Task

Your job as a team of journalists is to create a magazine article reviewing Oscar Wilde’s play “The Importance of Being Earnest”. The purpose of the article is not only to review the play, but to also inform the general public of the life of Oscar Wilde, and, most importantly, to critique his work. Your article will be included in a magazine that you will design. You will need to design a cover for the magazine, a table of contents that would be relevant to the events of the time of Wilde’s play, and you will include the article. You and you coworkers will need to create an original title for the magazine. You will be presenting your final work to your classmates as a short oral presentation. Each coworker will present the work that they created.

Here are three examples of magazines that were popular around the general time period of Wilde. You may use these images to guide you as you try to design you own. They do not have to be elaborate, just original!
