AQA GCSE 9-1 Elizabethan England, 1568-1603, Historic Environment Question 2026
This lesson explores the significance of the Globe Theatre in Elizabethan England and will prepare students fully for the historic environment question in 2026. This lesson has 38 slides and therefore is best to be delivered over at least two. The lesson has been revised since I first published it in 2019
Students will discover how the Globe became a major hub of entertainment, attracting audiences from all levels of society and helped shape the popularity of the English theatre. Through the works of playwrights like William Shakespeare, the theatre reflected the values, culture, concerns and politics of the time, making it a powerful mirror of Elizabethan society.
The lesson begins by examining two previous student answers, which students have to annotate and decide the marks they could award for each. They will show the common mistakes they make on this question from previous years. There is a simplified markscheme to consult as well as that supplied from AQA.
Two model answers are also analysed which will reflect the higher Level 4 marks awarded for a ‘complex explanation of the consequences leading to a sustained judgement’. Students are given tips and focus on how to achieve these higher marks.
Students are also required to fill in a grid to help them research the ‘5 P’s’, which focus on the main concepts of location, function, structure, design, people connected with the site, how the site reflects culture, values and fashions of the time and how the site links to important events and/or developments of the Elizabethans in the 16th Century. This will help them to gain the knowledge needed to write the question set from the exam board. The answer will also include the
Students are finally given a choice of 6 GCSE practice exam questions to complete with some scaffolding to help if required. Tips are given how to make a sustained line of argument rather than list the people, plays and the entertainment on offer from the Globe and other surrounding theatres.
The resource is differentiated and gives suggested teaching strategies. It comes in PowerPoint format which can be edited and changed to suit.
Any reviews on the resource would be greatly appreciated.

This Revision Guide on the Globe Theatre is aimed at students to help them study, revise and be prepared for the AQA Elizabethan Historic Environment question for 2026.
I have broken down the main details into manageable chunks using an amalgamation of P words including place, patronage, protests, popularity and purpose.
This guide has been revised from my 2019 version and these P words focus on the main concepts of location, function, structure, design, people connected to the Globe, the culture, values and fashions of the time and how the site links to important events of the period.
There is clearly a lot more information in the AQA guidance now included from 2019, such as the construction and function of the Globe, the surrounding theatres and their patrons, the famous actors and companies linked to each and the messages included in the plays written. I have added this to expand the Guide from 6 to 8 pages and considered the exam questions that may be asked.
Therefore, this Revision Guide on the Globe Theatre is perfect for busy teachers as it includes all the key information needed and is tailored to support students of all abilities.
Furthermore, with a strong emphasis on how the site connects to the broader themes of the Elizabethan era, this resource will not only save you hours of planning but also help students gain a deeper understanding of how to approach the Historic Environment question with clarity and precision.
The Guide comes in Word and PDF format and can be edited and changed if required. Please feel free to edit and adapt the guide if needed.
I would welcome any reviews on this resource, which would be much appreciated.
