Power & The People: The Events of The Peasants Revolt

AQA GCSE history lesson for The Power & The People thematic unit. In this lesson we look at the events of The Peasants Revolt and the actions of both sides.

The starter is a simple “whose graves are these?” quiz. Each grave has a limerick based around a key person in the unit so far. We then begin by looking at the causes of the Peasants Revolt in a bit of retrieval practice to set the scene. We then use a control graph to plot how much control Richard had of the situation during the revolt. The pupils will be guided through the key events of the revolt completing the graph as they go. We then look at the tactics of both sides and the pupils complete a table of the tactics using examples if possible. We finish with a source question on the execution of Simon of Sudbury from the Chronicles of Froissart.

I hope that this saves you some valuable planning time.
