This outstanding lesson has been designed to help students assess the causes of the English Civil War by evaluating the decisions made by James and Charles I and how they affected their popularity. This popular lesson has been repeatedly graded as outstanding by Ofsted, LEA Consultants and SLT as it’s a fun and engaging way to develop students critical higher order thinking skills. This lesson is suitable for the full ability range.
Once students have worked their way through a selection of starters that you can chose from, they complete the living graph or continuum exercise. They can then colour code the information cards as either economic, religious or political causes. This is then consolidated by a thinking skills review triangle activity to decide which factor was the most important. Once these tasks have been completed, the final result could be used for an assessment or for an extended writing task.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a two page word document which contains the information cards and a twelve slide PowerPoint. The PowerPoint is designed to help facilitate the lesson and contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, templates, tasks and activities. I have also included a lesson plan. Ideally, the continuum should be printed on A3 paper. For more detailed information, please see the detailed preview.

In terms of printing off the resources, I would be tempted to print the Continuum graph on A3, whilst I would print the character cards onto six slides per page so that they will fit on.

The next part of the presentation then looks at the impact of overproduction on the environment and minority groups such as Alack people and Hispanic Americans. The avatar then introduces an alternative interpretation of why farmers didn't share in the prosperity of the boom by looking at the roles played by Republican policies such as tariffs, prohibition and laisse faire attitudes that resulted in the problems of the farmers being furtherer compounded.
The plenary activity focuses on a thinking skills review triangle, which aims to get students to decide which factors were the most important in preventing farmers from sharing in the prosperity of the boom. This slide could be printed off. It should be pointed out that their is no definitive answer, but the group or pair work around this task is designed to promote discussion and class debate to later help students with their assessment questions.
The assessment section includes 4 questions from OCR or the Oxford and Cambridge exam board. The first is a describe, the second is an explain and the third is an essay question. The final question is a source based question which could be used as either a starter or a plenary. I have also included pupil mark schemes which could be used to get students to either mark or peer assess their work.

This resource really well alongside my worksheet on why didn't farmers benefit from the Boom which you can download and buy separately or as a bundle with this presentation. If you like this resource then you can also follow 'The History Academy' on Twitter, Google Plus, YouTube and Facebook for the latest updates. We aim to produce cheap and affordable resources for either the price of a good cup of coffee or a happy meal so that you can spend more
Kind Regards
