The Tudors

This is the second in a series of lessons I have created on the Tudors, which is an introduction.

The key skill of chronology is introduced from the start as students decide which Tudor came first to which came last.

Key questions floating past the screen as well as the wall of mystery give clues and answers to some interesting and gruesome facts on the Tudor family.

Students have the chance to create their own timelines, factual displays, key question and answer quizzes or an A-Z of Tudor facts.

The lesson finishes which two plenaries to choose from which both test their new found knowledge.

The resource comes in Powerpoint formats if there is a wish to adapt and change. I have also included suggested teaching strategies and differentiated resources to deliver the lesson.

The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning.

Tudors Bundle Part 1

This bundle follows the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum - the development of Church, state and society in Britain 1509-1745. I have designed the lessons to be challenging and engaging as well as fun and enjoyable. The aims of this bundle are to know and understand how peoples' lives were shaped by the Tudors from Henry VII to Mary I, how they changed the course of British history and why we are still fascinated by their lives today. Students will learn and understand key historical skills throughout; for example, the concepts of continuity and change under Henry VII after the Wars of the Roses, recognising the causes and consequences of Henry’s break with Rome, explaining the similarities and differences in the reigns of the Tudors, analysing the significance of the Black Tudors and Edward VI as well as evaluating sources and interpretations, such as the reputation of Mary 1. The 12 lessons are broken down into the following: L1 The War of the Roses L2 An introduction to the Tudors (free lesson) L3 Henry VII L4 Henry VIII introduction L5 Did Henry VIII break with Rome for love? L6 Did Henry VIII break with Rome for faith? L7 Did Henry VIII break with Rome for money? L8 The dissolution of the monasteries L9 The sinking of the Mary Rose L10 Edward VI L11 Bloody Mary L12 Black Tudors Each lesson comes with suggested teaching and learning strategies and are linked to the latest historical interpretations and debate from the BBC and other sources. The lessons are fully adaptable in PowerPoint format and can be changed to suit. I have included a free lesson to give an idea of what is being offered. Although this bundle is aimed at Key Stage 3, it is ideal if you are studying the Tudors for GCSE as it covers the main themes, concepts and skills required.
