Mary Rose
Subject: History
Age range: 11-14
Resource type: Lesson (complete)
The Tudors
This lesson aims to find out the real reason for the sinking of Henry’s flagship, the Mary Rose.
The lesson starts with Henry crying (literally) and students have to decode a message to find out why.
Students are then given four options as to why it sank, from which they give their initial opinions.
Further analysis of video footage and written evidence will allow them to form their own judgements to be able to complete an extended writing task.
This lesson uses Henry as a talking head, discussing how it was impossible to sink it in the first place, due to his genius and finally responding to the students’ evidence in a witty plenary.
This lesson is engaging and fun and gives a different perspective of looking at Tudor seafaring and what was aboard the ships of the time.
The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning.
The resource includes suggested teaching strategies, retrieval practice, differentiated materials and comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.

Tudors Complete Bundle
This bundle follows the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum - the development of Church, state and society in Britain 1509-1745. I have designed these lessons to be challenging and engaging as well as fun and enjoyable. The aims of this bundle are to know and understand how peoples’ lives were shaped by the Tudors from Henry VII to Elizabeth I, how they changed the course of British history and why we are still fascinated by their lives today. Students will learn and understand key historical skills throughout; for example, the concepts of continuity and change with the Wars of the Roses and the accession of Henry VII to the throne, key historical terms such as dissolution, Catholic and Protestant and vagrancy, recognising the causes and consequences of Henry’s break with Rome, analysing the significance of the Black Tudors, Edward VI and Elizabeth I as well as evaluating sources and interpretations such as the reputation of Mary 1. The 20 lessons are broken down into the following: L1 The War of the Roses L2 Henry VII L3 An introduction to Henry VIII L4 Did Henry VIII break with Rome for love? L5 Did Henry VIII break with Rome for faith? L6 Did Henry VIII break with Rome for money? L7 The dissolution of the monasteries L8 The sinking of the Mary Rose L9 Edward VI L10 Bloody Mary L11 Black Tudors L12 The young Elizabeth L13 The Elizabethan Settlement (free resource) L14 Elizabeth and the problem of marriage L15 Elizabeth and her portraits L16 How did Elizabeth deal with Mary, Queen of Scots? L17 Famous explorers (Drake, Hawkins and Raleigh) L18 The Spanish Armada L19 Elizabeth, poverty and the Poor Law L20 Elizabethan Theatre and the Globe Due to TES restrictions on Bundles, the introduction to the Tudors, which is a free lesson, must be downloaded separately. Each lesson comes with suggested teaching and learning strategies and are linked to the latest historical interpretations and debate from the BBC and other sources. The lessons are fully adaptable in PowerPoint format and can be changed to suit. I have included a free lesson to give an idea of what is being offered. Although this bundle is aimed at Key Stage 3, it is ideal if you are studying the Tudors for GCSE as it covers the main themes, concepts and skills required.

These lessons are great and my year 8 group absolutely love them and love History as a result. Fun, engaging and with appropriate level of challenge. They particularly loved coming up and delivering their speeches to Henry at the end - I had them bowing and curtsying in true Tudor courtly fashion!
