OCR Alevel Tudors Rebellion and Disorder/ Tudor Rebellions
This is a lesson on Perkin Warbeck’s rebellion
I teach this AFTER the Cornish rebellion even though it technically begins before- this is to group the economic rebs and have them bookended by Dynastic threats and also to show the response to the rebellion when Warbeck lands in Cornwall in Sept and ensure students do not muddle that with the Cornish rebellion of 1497 (early summer)
Can be used for any Tudor Rebellions/ Tudors ALevel
Very detailed and in depth- all themes covered.

Topic 4 Supreme Court and Civil Rights

Includes a key profile of the current court for a research homework and how they ruled on key cases e.g. Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Board of Health and New York state rifle assoc. v Bruen which cover key aspects of the divisive issues in the USA today e.g. abortion rights, gun control, voting rights, immigration and campaign finance.
All the SCOTUS cases I cover are useful case studies for other topics due to the synoptic nature of the ALevel course, this helps students to join the dots.
I have also made a key words/ case studies sheet for student files which can be found here:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/usa-politics-check-lists-and-case-studies-all-topics-12857384
These case studies cover every topic but there is a whole page devoted to the most important SCOTUS cases and rulings by the court.
