Market Place Activity - How successful was Edward VI?

Its not easy finding good resources on Edward VI and his role in the Reformation. This fun and interactive lesson is designed to help students assess how successful his reign was for the short time he was in power.

The lesson begins by getting students to review the problems that he faced at the start of his lesson and to classify them into economic, religious, political and succession. This is followed up by a market place activity that looks at the changes he made during his reign and finishes off with a series of activities that get students to assess how successful he was at solving the problems that faced him as King.

When you purchase this lesson, you will be able to download a 26 slide PowerPoint Presentation that contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, information slides, activities, historical sources, starters and plenaries on the reign of Edward VI. The PowerPoint also contains slides and templates for photocopying.

Please see the preview for more information, but note that some slides have been missed out.

This is lesson is suitable for lower middle to upper ability students. The market place activity sides have been ragged and I have produced a core and foundation version of Edward VI’s problems.
