Plots against Elizabeth I

This sorting activity is designed to give students confidence in their knowledge of the different plots against Elizabeth. It was designed as a response to an exam question which showed my students got very easily mixed up between the different plots and tended to give the same description of each plot. It could be used as a stand alone activity or as a review lesson after covering the plots in more detail. There are a range of extension tasks to ensure that this resource can be used for a whole, or even a double lesson if the examination questions are incorporated. The questions are based on the Edexcel GCSE but could be adapted to other specifications. In order to answer the 12 and 16 mark questions, the students would need access to more detailed information. I have included the solution so this lesson can be delivered by non specialists.
