Roundhead or Cavalier?

This resource has been designed as an SEND resource to help students understand the difference between a Roundhead or Cavalier during the English Civil War 1642 -1660. It can also be used as a homework sheet for other classes

When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a single page Word document or PDF which includes a hand drawn cartoon showing a Cavalier and Roundhead soldier in 1642. Both soldiers have a speech bubble explaining what they are fighting for. There then follows three activities, which includes drawing or completing a table with statements that summarise their views as well as two questions which seek to consolidate and test students understanding.

The aims and objectives are:
