I am a History Teacher with a love for producing high quality and easily accessible history lessons, which I have accumulated and adapted for over 20 years of my teaching career. I appreciate just how time consuming teaching now is and the difficulty of constantly producing resources for an ever changing curriculum.

The English Civil War

The aim of this lesson is to question if James I was the most ‘suitable’ candidate to succeed Elizabeth I as monarch of England, Scotland and Wales.

The lesson begins with the death of Elizabeth and the suggestion of the enormity of the task that lays ahead for the new monarch, with the transition from Tudor to Stuart rule.

James I puts down his own marker quite forcibly from the start in a letter to her chief advisor, Robert Cecil.

Students have to sift through the evidence provided to make up their own minds.

They are then required to report back to Cecil with their findings with scaffolding and key words provided if required.

The plenary uses the blob playground for students to make links to James and his ‘characteristics’.

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

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