Henry VIII and his wifes - Who would marry Henry VIII?

This is a lesson aimed at Key Stage Three classes who are studying the Tudors. It aims to introduce the students to the Tudor Monarchs and draw out prior learning about Henry VIII using the first two activities. Then using an information sheet on the Six Wives the students answer a question that seeks to evaluate the reasons behind Henry's 6 marriages.

Optional starters are included to help introduce the Tudor Monarchs. There are example answers for modelling and success criteria that is levelled at three stages for students to use to self/peer assess and also a point of review.

The final task lends itself to be delivered as a Post-It-Note plenary or a human agreement line.
