AQA GCSE history lesson for The Power & The People Thematic Unit. In this lesson we look at what happened after King John had signed the Magna Carta in 1215.
We start with a quiz ‘Magna Carta or Not?’. The pupils have to spot the genuine clauses of the Magna Carta and which ones are fake.
We begin by looking at John’s siege or Rochester Castle, why he chose to assault it and what happened during the siege. The pupils complete several activities including a labeled diagram of the castle defences and a timeline of events. We then look at John’s movements and the actions of the rebels afterwards by creating a ‘control graph’ to show how much control John had over England at various points. We finish by asking the question ‘To what extent was the Magna Carta a success at limiting t he power of the king?’. The pupils complete this as a visual scale in their books with explanation.
I hope that this saves you some valuable planning time.
