However, it can easily be adapted as a stand alone lesson to teach students about the structure and hierarachy of Tudor society and government for KS3/4/5. This lesson (re-) introduces students to the historical figure of Henry VIII. Students then examine how early Tudor society was structured in the countryside and towns. It then examines how Henry VIII’s government was structured and the roles of the groups within this structure. This is a fully resourced lesson which includes a printable fact sheet based on the GCSE Edexcel specification as well as worksheets, discussion tasks, engaging background information, warm up tasks and learning reviews. The lesson includes the following: Slide 1: Title slide – The features of Tudor Society and Government by 1509. Slide 2-3: As You Enter Warm Up – What do you already know about Henry VIII? Includes a printable worksheet and hints. Slide 4-5: Starter – Tudor Society Multiple Choice Quiz (with answers and explanations revealed).
