This is a thorough checklist covering all of the content of the Y12 and Y13 Stuart Britain and the Crisis of Monarchy 1603-1702. The format is based on questioning students so that they have to find out the information that they need rather than providing them with a description of events. My students have responded very positively to this extra challenge. In addition there is a column for students to tick completed sections that they have revised but an additional column to say whether they are confident or not with the topic. This has been used to highlight areas of whole class revision. Can be used with Y12 and Y13 classes.

This lesson focuses on providing students with information so they can complete their own investigation into the Babington, Throckmorton and Ridolfi plots but also study Catholic resistance. The word document can be printed to provide information packs so students can work in groups to collect the information. PPT provides all instructions for students that are needed for a full lesson. Planned for Edexcel new 9-1 Elizabethan unit but general information would also suit any teaching on this area.

These resources act as an introduction to the reign of James II and further exploration of his Catholicism and moves to implement this. The PPT can be used to guide students through the booklet which also has activities and tasks to help students learn and apply new knowledge. PART OF THE BOOKLET RELATES TO THE OXFORD AQA HISTORY UNIT 1D TEXT BOOK.

This resource is suitable for both Y12 and Y13 classes studying Stuart Britain and the Crisis of Monarchy, 1603 - 1702. Introduction and revision suitable. As an introduction the idea behind the resource is to give students an easily accessible narrative to make them aware of the bigger picture of the course over the linear option. This introduces them to key people, events and themes that they most likely have not encountered before and therefore will increase their understanding when they encounter course content. As a revision activity they could annotate and add specific examples, links to other sections of the course or simply use as a recap. Great for helping lower attaining students access the complex issues.

This PPT gives templates for several different ways to avoid copying in lessons. These activities are easy to implement and could be transferred to multiple subjects and key stages. Explanations of the intention behind the tasks are included. This would be valuable to share with any staff looking to add variety to their lessons and make students think more independently.

This activity is based on the key questions highlighted by AQA as being significant to the Stuart Britain and the Crisis of Monarchy course. Each of the 6 questions have been turned into a supported task with clear instructions and advice for students to enable them to create a handout for the class. The differentiated aspect through providing students with thinking points and questions works well to support and challenge. A ready to go lesson.

This lesson focuses on the reasons behind the failure of the Armada. In order to make the information concise a booklet has been created to guide students through the information in a relevant and interesting way, i.e. cloze exercises, source analysis, card sorts. Answers to card sort activities provided and differentiation in terms of how many cards match each heading. Further differentiation would be very straightforward if needed. This lesson links to the relevant section in the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE.

In order to get the most out of group work this task supports students thoroughly in investigating a particular theme from 1649-1678. Students are required to work in groups to make a handout for the class. Each group has a specific guide related to their theme with questions they must answer, suggested web links and wider reading. These can be removed if you prefer as are not essential to the successful completion of the task. Used whilst teaching the new linear AQA Stuart Britain unit 1D and excellent results from Y13 class. Excellent as revision and an overview exercise.

Students often find it difficult to explain in their essays rather than describe. These activities focus on using the PEEL structure - Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link to the Question - to help students explain and use specific examples. Each includes a model paragraph in response to an essay question which students have to identify in terms of the PEEL model and contribute their own paragraph. Useful to embed writing skills whilst providing model examples. Teacher example included to familiarise you with the PEEL structure. Could be used at Y12 or Y13. Examples are AQA Unit 1D Stuart Britain specific.

This resource allows you to guide students through how to answer an extract question but also allows them to see what arguments can be selected from an extract AND what contextual evidence can be used to support their answers. Broken down into manageable steps so accessible for all.
