Shakespeare's Globe

To set the stage:

You are a literary historian. You have travelled back in time to 1602 a.d. in Southwark, London, England. William Shakespeare is working with his company on performing a new play. You find the setting, the people, and the attire are remarkably different than that of the theaters and people you are accustomed to in the 21st century.

This WebQuest will allow you to explore those differences and create questions as to why the culture of 17th century England is so different from 21st century America.
