We have bundled and discounted them all together in this package so that you can choose a range of different options to suit your students.

It goes without saying that I would recommend watching the Historyonics version of the Gunpowder Plot with your students, which we have also unloaded for free to our dedicated YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/bXK5bppu7DQ If you like these resources then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.

The Reign of James I 1603 - 1625

These outstanding resources look at key issues during the controversial Reign of James I. They begin bylooking at the problems that he faced during his reign and the impact of the break with Rome and include his relations with Parliament, The Divine Rights of Kings, Money, taxation and religious problems. The issue of the religious problems facing James I is explored via both the Gunpowder Plot and The Pilgrim Fathers. Whilst interconnected with both these problems is popular beliefs and superstitions which is explored through my resources on Witchcraft. The overarching theme to all these resources is their link to not just the consequences of the break with Rome but ultimately the causes of the English Civil War. Please click on each resource to find out more.
