This outstanding lesson has been designed to help students analyse the reliability of royal portraits in Elizabethan England 1558 - 1603. It is suitable for a wide range of abilities and can be used at both KS3 and KS4.

When you purchase this lesson you will receive a card sort with six portraits and six accompanying statements which need to be matched up. I have carefully edited the pictures so they photocopy in black in white, but if you can afford to print them off in colour then they make an even more stunning resource. If you are trying square the expense, the you could always print off fifteen copies and then put them into envelopes to be reused with another class.

The aims and objectives of this lesson are:

Theme: Queen Elizabeth I, 1558 – 1603.
Know: How did the official image of Elizabeth change from 1546 – 1603?
Understand: What steps did Elizabeth take to control her image?
Evaluate: How useful are royal portraits as historical evidence?
Skills: Source Analysis and Interpretation.

WILF – What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: The changes to the official image of Elizabeth I from 1546 to 1603?
Explain: Why did Elizabeth I control the way her image was official presented?
Analyse: How useful are royal portraits as historical evidence?

Before you buy this resource, you can also purchase the same resource with an accompanying PowerPoint that includes the aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, snowballing starters, plenaries, the answers to the card sort as well as additional tasks and slides which look at the reliability and purpose of royal portraits as a form of propaganda. The plenary activity in the PowerPoint gets students to annotate the Armada portrait for legitimacy, purity, success and other key aspects of Elizabethan propaganda
