Elizabethan Education

A self-contained and active double lesson on Education in the Elizabethan Era which includes subject content and examination questions. It includes an examination question support sheet and a teacher solution ideal for non-specialists.
This resource has the appropriate content needed for the Tudor Edexcel GCSE unit on the Early Elizabethan England 1558-1588. There are some active tasks which involve students sorting statements into the most appropriate category. They are then encouraged to think about how/why education changed and for whom by doing a Venn Diagram. Finally, I have created 3 mock examination questions to cover each of the 4, 12 and 16 mark types which are in the exam. The worksheet should give them the knowledge they need to answer the questions. There is also a support sheet which includes a few exemplar paragraphs to model how they should answer each question, as well as some additional hints.
