AQA GCSE 9-1 Elizabethan England, 1568-1603

The overarching aim of this and the subsequent bundle of lessons is to question and explore how Elizabeth asserted her authority and control in the second half of her reign.

The lessons are therefore linked together to build up a picture of this golden age and question if it really was a period of stability and prosperity.

This lesson questions if there really was an Elizabethan Golden Age or was it really a myth?

Was it just some Elizabethan propaganda to promote Elizabeth I and the Tudors?

The students get themselves involved in a mini debate agreeing or refuting the question using Cornell Note taking before presenting their findings to the class.

They will also tackle a GCSE ‘write an account’ question before peer assessing it and deciding what went well and how they need to improve the answer.

The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning.

The resource includes suggested teaching strategies, retrieval practice, differentiated materials and comes in Powerpoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.
