The market activity delves into the diverse roles fulfilled by Tudor queens, mistresses, upper-class figures such as Bess of Hardwick Hall, common women in rural and urban settings, and the significant contributions of Tudor women within the church, preserving the religious traditions of their families. Once the market place activity has been completed, we have provided a series of tasks to help students scaffold an extended answer on whether Tudor women spend the majority of their time caring for their families.

This fun and engaging lesson on the problems facing medieval kings is designed to help set the scene for Thomas Becket, Magna Carta, the Hundred Years War and the War of the Roses. If you don’t have time to go into depth on these topics, then it helps to provide a useful overview. Tailored for Year 7 students, the lesson is carefully structured with core and foundation tasks to accommodate varying levels of ability. After the main activity, students can reinforce their learning by writing a fatherly speech or advice for a medieval prince, preparing them for the problems he should expect. If you don’t have time for this literacy exercise, then you can move straight on the plenary which gets students to match the problems that we have identified with future events.
