Tudor Rebellions How Threatening was Pilgrimage of Grace

OCR Alevel Tudor Rebellions course My third double lesson on the Pilgrimage of Grace for the Tudor Rebellions. As this is a depth study, students need to go into these themes in far greater depth.

Is linked to my other lesssons on the Pilgrimage of Grace but can also be used as a stand alone double lesson. (Should take 2 hours)

Tudor Rebellions- Rebellions against Henry VIII and Edward VI/ Duke of Somerset

9 Resources
This mega bundle includes lessons on the following rebellions: The Amicable Grant 1525 The Pilgrimage of Grace Depth study (includes over 12 hours of learning plus hwk including detailed lessons on Causes, Nature, Impact and Threat) The Western Rebellion Depth study as above Reading on the Mid-Tudor Crisis Interpretation practices questions on Pilgrimage of Grace and Western including model answers The Kett Rebellion 1549 I haven’t included the Siilken Thomas rebellion as I teach this at the end as a discrete unit on Ireland so the rebs make more sense and I include it in my Ireland bundle. Both Depth studies from OCR course are included in this bundle which is why it is a bit more expensive than my normal rebellions lessons. Each mini unit is stretched over 12 hours of lessons plus hwk. Last few years’ results since COVID have been excellent- average student marks on Interps questions 21.8/30 (mixed ability comprehensive) and thematic qs 18.2/25 so I know these lessons work well. Price to buy individually = £44.50

The Oxfordshire (1596) and Essex Rebellion 1601

(0)
Double Lesson for ALevel OCR TUdor Rebellions focused on the Oxfordshire and Essex Rebellions- more on the Essex Rebellion since Oxfordshire is not very significant and doesn’t have lots of material. Very comprehensive 2 x 2 hour lessons (more if you use the Starkey youtube clip)- ((you may want to include a disclaimer about his views not being the views of your History department!)) and use all of the reading. Essex is such a character- I love teaching this. You can also buy this as part of a bundle of Tudor Rebellions lessons on Rebellions against Mary and Elizabeth (England only) I have a separate bundle for Ireland.

Tudor Rebellions End of Year Quiz

Tudor Rebellions End of Year Quiz

(0)
This quiz took about 10 hours of my life (that I will never get back!) to make but the students loved it- just the right balance of inappropriate to be funny but still all related to the Tudor Court, rebellions and key individuals. It is mainly a music quiz with some of the rebels, Tudor characters and noblemen being represented in song lyrics…in other cases the rebellions are represented by the song. There is a round on Tudor swear words and other random trivia. Answer sheet attached- slides plus answer sheet should be self explanatory but if you need anything explaining further email me- lasts about an hour and a half including marking and going through answers- I don’t play the whole songs- just the relevant extracts.
