The Tudors: L2 'How different were the Protestant and Catholic churches in Tudor England?'

I use this lesson as introduction to the key differences between the two churches when starting the reformation during Tudor England. It is an easy to follow lesson which starts with a simple spot the difference between the two churches. There is a worksheet included which the students extract information from to complete a table and respond to a written task to collect and record the data needed for the main activity, which is a tripadvisor review whereby the students need to write a review for a catholic church (as if they are a devout protestant). Literacy support and differentiated materials included as well as clear step by step instructions.
