Ask students to research The Globe and also where else Shakespeare produced his plays.
Depending on the age of your students:-
Ask them to design the set for the play that they are studying bearing in mind what The Globe was like.
and/or
Ask them to write a leaflet aimed at visitors coming to The Globe for the first time and who might be used to modern theatrical productions where there are many set changes. The leaflet will have to explain a bit about the history and the culture in which Shakespeare's plays were first performed. It should also contain quotes that Shakespeare has included so that the audience can visualise the scene for themselves without the aid of a set.
