Let your students have the opportunity to develop their detective skills! This lesson is a crime solving mystery based on the Great Fire of London in 1666.
Provided with an evidence pack, stuffed full of crime scene pictures, evidence from eye witnesses, reports from fire fighters, and confessions from suspects, students will go through the evidence packs and try to work out just what happened in September 1666 - was the fire a simple accident in Pudding Lane? A royal conspiracy? A plot launched by a Popish spy?
This lesson is a fun way to explore the tensions in Charles II’s England, and a launching pad for exploring tensions between Protestants and Catholics in later Stuart England. This lesson can be used to develop skills with analysing evidence, making conclusions using evidence, and developing persuasive arguments.
