This is my absolute favourite lesson to teach to year 8 - I hope you enjoy it! It is quite a long one though, so either keep the pace up, use fewer sources, or break it into two lessons.
Lesson objectives:
LO: To know the story of the Gunpowder plot
LO: To use evidence to find out more about the Gunpowder Plot
LO: To use evidence to question whether the story as we know it is true.
LO: To decide whether Guy Fawkes was innocent or guilty and use the evidence to prove it
This lesson works best if you have students working in groups of 4, but I have done this in pairs and it works fine as well. You will need a focus on good group work, praise for groups that are working well together and rewards for groups who are really discussing and getting into the evidence. One year, I did have to set this lesson as cover so I have also included that as a resource in case you need a quick cover, or need work for a student in inclusion.
Enjoy!
