The teaching world does not have a lack of resources when it comes to teaching the works of William Shakespeare. There are scene, theme, and character analyses for almost every play or sonnet produced by the great English playwright. We have modern translations and activities having students translating the works themselves available from veteran teachers and available for purchase on Teachers Pay Teachers. While all of these resources are helpful for students' understanding of the plays, their messaging, character development, and relevance in today’s modern world, I wanted to find a resource that provided context about the world that inspired Shakespeare. For these reasons, I chose to use Shakespear’s Globe 360 a virtual tour app created by Shakespeare’s Globe Trust. This educational resource provides students insight into the world of the Bard instead of just his works. This resource is available online and as a free app that can be downloaded on Apple and Google Play stores. While the virtual tour available through the computer is enjoyable to show the whole class, the VR app allows students to “walk-around” the Globe Theater. I used this with my 8th-grade class at Natomas Charter as an introduction to Elizabethan theater and Romeo and Juliet and they loved it! They had so much fun walking around the Globe and learning more about how it was built and repaired, the art that adorns the ceiling over the Globe stage, how social status played a role in where the audience sat, and so much more. Students walked around the classroom taking tours with each other and some even started giving “tours” to their peers. While I knew students would enjoy the virtual reality aspect of this educational resource, I was shocked to find how interested they were in learning about the Globe itself. When we read the balcony scene, students started talking about how this would be performed on stage. They were able to visualize and begin to develop an understanding of how this would be performed aiding in their understanding of the play itself. The background information that was provided through this app helped students understand that this play was written decades ago and that many of the plot decisions that were made were done so because of the era it was in. It was a fun activity and students really enjoyed the opportunity to explore new ideas and engage with fun technology.
