How significant was English Victory over the Spanish Armada?

Approx two lessons. After the teaching of the Spanish Armada.

First lesson deals with the historical skill of how historians work and the concept of historical significance using the 5 Rs of significance. Examples to encourage discussion and thought involve Covid and the invasion of Ukraine.

Students can then make notes around what each of the 5Rs are and how they can be used to judge historical significance.

There is then a short documentary by Dan Snow that explains some great examples of how the victory was historically significant. It is advisable that the video is stopped regularly and the concepts of the 5Rs discussed to allow students greater opportunities to share their knowledge and views and so that they can then record their knowledge in the appropriate spaces in the worksheet.
I have then used this to formulate a long answer question on their end of unit assessment.
