KS3 Medieval - How Did Parliament Challenge Henry III?

This lesson includes:

• A starter which can be edited to fit whatever you previously taught.
• An on-board introduction to Henry III’s reign and his family tree as well as anticipating whether he can learn from John’s mistakes. The teacher takes the students through a few slides with mistakes Henry also made and they weigh up how similar he is to his father. There is an activity to summarise what they have learned.
• An on-board introduction to Simon de Montfort and the Provisions of Oxford. Students use the on-board information to complete some questions on this.
• A main task to read an information sheet about the 2nd Barons War and the eventual death of de Montford. The students complete some comprehension questions and then analyse the text to draw out facts about how the parliament worked. This is done on the worksheet provided and has a summary of the equivalent workings of today’s parliament.
• A plenary to update the optional consolidation table for the whole scheme of work on Medieval Power.
