A Teacher's Guide to the Tudors

This two pager gives you a summary on the main themes in the Tudor period. It’s not intended to give you the detailed evidence, but it does highlight things to look out for, trends to notice, and the shifts and changes that make the Tudor period one of our most important in historical terms. I hope it helps as a backdrop, giving you the panorama of the period, and hopefully a bit of a platform to ask tough questions of your students!

I think this is best suited to someone teaching the Tudors for the first time, who wants to understand the big brushstrokes of the period before planning the detail in the lessons. The themes raised will be a challenge for students, so the summary may prompt some higher level activities and questions.
