This lesson provides an excellent introduction to the reign of King James I in England following the death of Elizabeth I. The lesson helps students explain why James VI of Scotland was chosen as the successor to Elizabeth I. Students are then given a range of sources and historical interpretations to form their own opinions about the strengths and weaknesses of King James I. Finally, students will use a fact sheet about James I to help them understand the growing tensions in England between the king and his parliament and religion.
The 14-slide lesson contains a variety of discussion tasks, activities, printable resources, starters and learning reviews as well as engaging background information about King James I.
