Analysis activity using both primary sources and historian’s research focusing on the answering “Was Mary, Queen of Scots, involved in the murder of Lord Darnley?”. Students must consider usefulness and reliability including and must take care not to be tricked by a casket letter!
The links to the six sources, and accompanying questions, will scaffold students through the analysis with a prompt at the end to weigh up all the information and make their own judgement.
This could be run as an individual, webquest type activity or in class with printed resources.
A Powerpoint is also provided (with the questions) to run in a classroom setting if desired. It will take 1-2 hours depending on the ability of the class. Answers provided.
