The second lesson in the 2026 AQA 8145 Historic Environment series on The Globe Theatre
The lesson begins with an image recap of the previous lesson/reasons for the growing popularity of the theatre during Elizabeth’s reign, moving on to a video exploring why London was more receptive to cultural developments like the theatre. Students then explore various factors causing the popularity of the theatre, leading to a judgement of which was most significant. In groups, students consider how various groups in society would perceive the theatre, leading to a written summary of the extent of popularity of the theatre. Finally, a judgement line plenary considers the extent of impact on Elizabethan society (links to next lesson on who opposed the theatre).
