L5 in the 2023 Historic Environment series on Sheffield Manor Lodge.
This lesson explores the road to Mary’s execution and the role of George Talbot within this.
The lesson begins with a video recapping the personal threat that Mary posed to Elizabeth, leading to a discussion of the Babington Plot. Students then assess the 4 key plots involving Mary and explain the extent of Mary’s involvement in each. Students then judge ‘how much’ of a threat Mary was and why her execution was significant. Students then debate if executing Mary was the right thing to do in groups. The lesson then explores the role of Talbot in Mary’s execution, analysing his views on Mary and his complicity in her plots. Students then wrap up the lesson with an 8-mark question on the importance of Mary’s execution which can be peer/self-assessed.
