A fun whodunnit mystery escape room style lesson to test your students’ understanding of Shakespeare’s theatre. Perfect for a KS3 end of topic lesson. Fits into a Shakespeare/Context/Elizabethan/Drama scheme of work.

About the lesson:

Imagine you are a detective.
A call comes in about a mysterious robbery at the Globe Theatre!
Shakespeare’s quill, which he used to write all his plays, has been stolen! It is up to you to use your skills and knowledge to solve it!

During the lesson you will complete three activities:
ROUND 1 - General Knowledge Quiz
ROUND 2 - Key Terms Table
ROUND 3 - Cloze Passage Fill the Gaps

Each activity will give you a clue word.
Use the three clues to decide which of the suspects stole the quill

I have used this lesson personally with my students in the past and all have been really engaged. Can be done individually or in teams.
