How has power changed over time?

A thematic double lesson in which students consider the nature of power and how it has changed over time. Students will consider key events which were significant in the development of the British political system, such as the Magna Carta, and will weigh up the balance of power at each point by considering the power of the monarchy, parliament and the people. Students will then have the opportunity to evaluate key events in more detail to get a better understanding of how political power was shaped by these events.
This lesson works well as a summary to KS3 learning so that students can draw conclusions from what they have been learning.
