These practice questions on the Elizabeth I exam paper for Eduqas and WJEC came about after my pupils wanted past papers to help them revise! I have put together a selection of practice questions in the style of all five questions on the exam paper. Question 1 - What can be learnt from Sources A and B ... (8 questions) Question 2 - To what extent does this source accurately reflect the...? (11 questions) Question 3 - Why was...? (17 questions) Question 4 - Explain the connections between TWO of the following that are to do with...? (9 questions) There is a space underneath each question for pupils to write notes when going over them in class. Question 5 - 2. How far do you agree with this interpretation of...? (23 questions) This will give pupils a chance to get a real feel for the new paper and practice their exam skills. N.B. There are no questions specifically focused on Wales during the Elizabethan era.

A sequence of three lessons for key question 1 of Elizabeth I - How successful was the government of Elizabeth I? These lessons are retrieval based and are used in conjunction with the knowledge organiser included. Lesson 1 - The Big Picture - extended content with a Do it Now and retrieval activity Lesson 2 - Mind mapping lesson with an example mind map and a Do Now for the start of the lesson Lesson 3 - Testing - An extended Do Now comprising of 10 factual questions and one of the exam questions which feature on the Elizabeth I exam paper. The question is explained, modelled and then students have a go too. The slides are based around the knowledge on the knowledge organiser. During the mind mapping and retrieval activities, higher ability students are given extra information so that they complete in more detail. We have found this method successful in helping our students remember the key information as the three lesson sequence embeds the core knowledge they need. Homeworks should be focused on revising / self-quizzing from knowledge organisers as well as completing mind maps. This method is also useful when students are absent from previous lessons as they are able to fit straight back in by using knowledge organisers.
