This outstanding resource has been designed to help students studying the problems facing James I when he became King of England in 1603? Students are presented with a number of challenges facing James I including religious, financial, foreign relations, the growth of Parliament and his beliefs in the Divine Rights of Kings. Once they have reviewed these problems, students are then asked to produce a speech suggesting how he could solve them, which can be peer and self reviewed using the resources included in the PowerPoint. Finally, they can then complete a quick heads and tails activity matching the action that James I took to solve his problems and then assess how successful they were. This brilliant lesson also helps to set the scene for the Gunpowder Plot and for the long term causes of the English Civil War. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a PowerPoint presentation that includes everything that you will need for this lesson. The PowerPoint includes the aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, consolidation exercises, information slides and links to video clips. The PowerPoint also includes two beautifully presented diagrams summarising James I’s problems for higher and lower ability students, which can be easily printed off and used with students as a classification exercise. I have also included various other alternative activities, depending upon your photocopying budget including a speech and thinking skills review exercise to help students decide which problems were the most important. The resource also includes a heads and tails activity which can also be printed off or copied by students off the board. I have included screen shots of all the slides in the preview slides. Everything has been carefully differentiated and can be easily adapted for the full range of ability. This is one of my favourite lessons and there is enough to last a class 2/3 lessons can be used to make you sparkle and shine for Ofsted or an observation lesson.
