Elizabeth I's Early Problems

What problems did Queen Elizabeth I face in her early reign and how successfully did she deal with them?

This lesson features information on the following problems facing Elizabeth when she ascended the throne:

• Succession
• Legitimacy
• Religion
• The economy
• Rebellions
• Mary, Queen of Scots

This lesson is a fun and interactive take on the above topic. It allows students to make multiple choice decisions based on the problems listed above. Students put themselves in the shoes of Elizabeth and decide what they would do about each problem. They then compare this to what Elizabeth chose to do in history.

The students then make a judgement on which problems they think Elizabeth dealt with most effectively.
