2E The English Revolution, 1625–1660 AQA, Unit 1: James I's Legacy

These A Level resources were developed during lock down for my sixth form students studying AQA Level History, 2E The English Revolution, 1625–1660. Unit 1 covers our transition unit, which covers the key issues for this course on the Reformation and Tudor government before moving onto the personality and character of James I and his problems relating to religion, politics and foreign policy. This should ideally all be covered by the first half term.

When you download this unit you will be able to download 7 PowerPoints which cover: Course Intro & Transition Unit; Personality and Character of James I; How was Britain Governed in 1603; intro James I’s Problems; Religious Problems; Political Problems; Foreign Policy Problems and Model Source Answer. I have also thrown in my AQA essay and source feedback sheets.

Please note that these are my lesson resources which you will need to edit up for your class. They will save you a lot of time. Each PowerPoint contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, links to the syllabus, page numbers for text books and relevant tasks and activities to help students make effective notes. You will need the following text books as a minimum: Oxford AQA History, the English Revolution 1625 - 1660, SHP England 1625 - 1660, Charles I, the English Civil War and Cromwell. You will also need my favourite text book for this topic: Stuart Britain 1603 - 1714, Context Series. All the other text books I have used are referenced in the PowerPoints. Please remember that you will have to adapt these notes for your school / institution but if you get stuck for resources or want any help you can contact me via the history academy facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/TheHistoryAcademy
