Teach this after discussing the causes of the breakdown in relations between England and Spain in 1588 to Year 8 pupils.
This activity should be taught before looking in detail at the battle plan of the Spanish. Cut out the cards and encourage the pupils to put them into the categories that are mentioned in the resource. Pupils can then carry out the simple activity which follows which focuses on numeracy. The task comes with a glossary. It finishes with pupils having to come up with their own strategy for destroying the Spanish. Pupils absolutely love doing this task. It is aimed for lower ability Year 8 pupils but I used to give it to all levels of ability before looking at the plans of the Spanish and then the failure of the Armada.
