2E The English Revolution, 1625–1660 AQA, Unit 5: War & Radicalism 1642 - 46

These A Level resources were developed during lock down for my sixth form students studying AQA Level History, 2E The English Revolution, 1625–1660. Unit 5: War & Radicalism 1642 - 1646. This unit looks at how the First Civil War was fought and why Parliament won. It also looks at divisions on both sides and how how they factored into Parliament winning. I have also included two optional units, the first asks the question, what was the nature of the English Revolution as an introduction to A2, the second is a drama role play activity based around the private Deerhurst activity in the SHP text book.

When you download this unit you will be able to download 11 PowerPoints which cover First Civil War; Military and leadership strengths and weaknesses of both sides; the emergence of the New Model Army; Why Parliament won; Divisions within the Parliamentary side and attempts at a settlement. I have also thrown in my AQA essay and source feedback sheets and some additional useful resources and card sorts.

Please note that these are my lesson resources which you will need to edit up for your own class. They will hopefully save you a lot of time, especially if you are teaching this topic for the first time. Each PowerPoint contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, links to the syllabus, page numbers for text books and relevant tasks and activities to help students make effective notes. You will need the following text books as a minimum: Oxford AQA History, the English Revolution 1625 - 1660, SHP England 1625 - 1660, Charles I, the English Civil War and Cromwell. You will also need my favourite text book for this topic: Stuart Britain 1603 - 1714, Context Series. All the other text books I have used are referenced in the PowerPoints.
