Before looking at the reigns of each Tudor monarch in KS3, I start with this lesson underlining the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism. It really helps with the understanding of each ruler’s actions later in the Tudor course.
Aims and Objectives:
- To know how a Catholic and Protestant church look different.
- To know the main differences in beliefs between the two types of Christianity.
- To understand why Catholics and Protestants practised their faith differently and why they both felt so strongly about this.
After a short parody video on the Reformation, we start by comparing and analysing the diagrams of a Catholic and Protestant church. Students then complete the colour-code activity setting out the different beliefs. There’s an SEN version of the colour-coding which I replace the longer version with when teaching nurture groups. Students then demonstrate their understanding by creating a poster supporting one of the denominations. This is generally set as homework and as a competition. The plenary asks students to identify whether a range of beliefs are Catholic or Protestant using the “C/P” cards to ensure they all have to get involved.

I found this to be an excellent resource, the children were engaged and enjoyed the activities, well worth the reasonable price I paid as this followed on perfectly from the previous session - thank you
