Lesson 25 in the scheme for Edexcel 1H10/B4 - Early Elizabethan England, 1558-1588.
This double lesson explores why the attempts to colonise Virginia was significant. A starter for 10 recaps the learning on society, leading to an explanation of the significance of Virginia for England, ranking the most to least significant. Students then complete a carousel activity examining the reasons why the colonisation of Virginia failed. Students then apply their learning from the past three lessons to the following 16-mark essay question:
‘The main reason that voyages of exploration were undertaken during Elizabeth’s reign was to increase England’s wealth.’ How far do you agree? Explain your answer. (16) You may use the following in your answer:
• Spain and the New World
• Elizabeth I
You must also use information of your own.
This can be answered timed, or at home.
Finally, students assess how far they think the failures in Virginia were due to Walter Raleigh.
