This outstanding lesson, which has been fine tune in the classroom by experienced teachers, is designed to help students understand the problems facing Charles I in 1625 and why he decided to rule without Parliament. Once students have worked their way through the introduction, they are presented with a number of problems facing Charles I ranging from religious, financial, foreign relations, the growth of Parliament and his beliefs in the Divine Rights of Kings. Once they have reviewed, categorize and prioritized these problems, students are then asked to produce a speech suggesting how Charles I could solve his problems and then peer assess each others speeches. This could be turned into a competition. In the final plenary activity, students are presented with Charles I’s decision to rule without Parliament and asked to assess whether it would help to solve his problems in the long term? This lesson is suitable for the full range of ability.

The module of work forms part of the Citizenship curriculum within School. It sets out to link the theme of ‘rights and responsibilities’ of our students at a local level of citizenship to the wider global context of human rights abuse. The learning journey will see students explore Human Rights set out by the United Nations Convention of Children’s Human Rights before analysing abuses of such rights. Case study examples are highlighted through the work of Amnesty International and the British Red Cross. The concept of push pull factors are explained in relation to asylum seekers and refugees using a Doncaster context before tackling the issue of prejudice against such groups.
