The English Civil War Lesson 3 - The Role of the New Model Army

This is the third lesson out of scheme of work on the English Civil War. Originally designed for the AQA GCSE Paper 2 (Thematic Studies, Power and the People, Challenging Royal Authority) however these resources could be used for any Key Stage 3, 4 or 5 lesson on the English Civil War. This lesson begins with a vanishing cloze on the diggers. Next, there is an information sharing exercise (which is differentiated) and information slides on the New Model Army, the Battle of Naseby, the differences between the Cavaliers and the Roundheads; and how propaganda was used during the English Civil War. Finally, there is a spot-the-difference plenary task on the Cavaliers and the Roundheads.
