This resource may be useful for: English teachers teaching Shakespeare, History teachers teaching Shakespeare/Henry V, History teachers seeking Medieval kings Top Trump resource Lesson enquiry: How useful is Shakespeare for a historian studying Henry V? Learning objectives: To know what makes a good Medieval king. To understand reasons why Henry V may be considered to be a good or a bad king. To be able to assess the usefulness of Shakespeare’s play using historical evidence. Context: This lesson was planned for a Year 7 class as a one-off history lesson to support a study in English of Shakespeare’s Henry V. The lesson intends to provide historical context to the play and encourage students to question Shakespeare’s portrayal of Henry. It was observed by an Ofsted inspector who commented that he “could not think of an improvement which wasn’t nitpicking”. Lesson activities: Watch the video (embedded) on Shakespeare’s interpretation of Henry V and make notes/discuss. Use Medieval king Top Trump cards (provided) to assess which Medieval kings were good/bad and what makes a good king. I have found it useful to get students to think in terms of morality (being a good person or a good Christian) and effectiveness (getting the job done), as this helps them to articulate that a king may be very effective but very immoral. Teacher talk introducing Henry V. Brief discussion about Henry’s most famous victory, Agincourt. Was Henry a good/bad king? Card sort activity.
