The focus of this lesson is to encourage students to form a judgment surrounding the character of Becket (not why he was murdered) but if he was a Saint or a Sinner.
Students enter class and handed a sticky note to settle . focus them on the starter activity (Why do I stand on this table?)
Students watch clip of the Dead Poets Society which links in with the historical skill of observing people / events from different interpretations.
Introduce the ideas behind Becket - students are supplied with an interpretation and on the back must summarise its message (saint or sinner and a quick summary) ten interpretations supplied. Students then are provided with a sheet and must circulate the room and interview each other to complete their worksheet of all the different opinions on Becket.
students then use the sheet to support a judgment activity where they rank order the opinions again in order of convincing / least convincing.
Plenary - students debate / judgment line their overall judgment and write up in their books.
