GCSE Elizabeth L2 - Elizabeth's Early Problems & Stigmas

This lesson contains:

• A starter ‘do it now’ task to recap previous learning.
• An introduction to what a ‘stigma’ is. This leads to a discussion about social stigmas. Then you can introduce the three Elizabeth had against her: legitimacy, gender and marriage.
• A task to use the information sheet provided to create a mind map with the key information about each of the three problems, emphasising why each was an issue for her.
• An activity to study a series of sources to discover whether Elizabeth has the force of character to overcome these social stigmas or not.
• A final task to create a diamond 9 from a set of small info cards, each with a different problem Elizabeth had, which students cut out and stick down, with an extension to explain why they chose the top one she had to try and deal with first.
• A plenary activity to summarise a point of learning.
