The Elizabethan theatre

TWO full lessons, initially created 75 mins, but more than enough for 4 lessons in total. Part of our 'Lost in time' module as students travel through periods of time with the use of characters. Students are investigating the key features of an Elizabethan theatre and comparing them to modern day theatres. The lessons include research, literacy skills, POW ( Punctuation, Organisation, Words) , worksheets to structure research, videos and interactive resources. Includes animations and music to match timings of activities. The key task and homework activity is to write a description of a visit to an Elizabethan theatre, based around the final scene in the film Shakespeare in Love. Students can use an interactive image available on www.thinglink.com which can support them both in class and in extending learning in the homework activity.https://www.thinglink.com/scene/477206787859152896
