This lesson learn how to investigate their relationship through understanding sources. GCSE HISTORY EDEXCEL FOCUSED
This lesson is part of the three reasons that make up the King’s “Great Matter”. Was it a need for a son? Was it his illegal marriage? Was it his love for Anne?
This lesson features the letters written by Henry and can be used with or without the Pearson textbooks. It is useful for ALL exam boards but directly relates to 1.4 of Edexcel.
Pass - if you can identify and describe the Henry’s reasons from the sources
Succeed- if you can explain what the sources reveal about Henry’s pursuit of Anne.
Excel - if you can evaluate which sources would effectively support the opinion that Henry’s pursuit was out of love or another reason.
These lessons allow you to explore the causes in different ways. They do work without textbooks.
Lesson 1 has the students looking at the causes from the point of view of Cromwell and looking at them as Power, Money and Religious causes. You should watch the first 10 minutes of the Cromwell Film. It is on DVD and edited parts are available online.
Lesson 2 has the students exam a list of cases as if they were Power, Money or Religion or Political, Economic, Social, Cultural or Miltary factors.
Lesson 3 or alternative for Lesson 2 looks at the list of events as Long, Medium, Short term and Trigger Causes. Here you can explore the snowball effect of events or shifting pendulum. (Watch more of the film)
