This outstanding lesson has been featured at various history teacher conferences across Europe and featured on several well known websites as an example of outstanding practice. It has also been used as a training resource on how to teach the difficult topic of historical interpretation to students.
The aim of this exciting lesson is to help students assess just how bloody Queen Mary I was by evaluating the views of both eye witnesses from the time and historians. It is suitable for a range of abilities, but mainly core and advanced.
When you download this lesson you will have a PowerPoint as well as word document with 12 primary and secondary sources about the reign of Queen Mary I 1553 - 1558.
The PowerPoint includes a snowballing and pair and share starters, slides on why Mary I executed the protestants and why she is such a controversial historical figure. This is followed up with links to carefully selected video clips which can be used with your students.
Afterwards, you then have the luxury of deciding whether to do the card sort exercise either a continuum, pro and con organiser or as a simple sort. I would recommend printing off the appropriate slides on A3 to go along with these activities. Sometimes, I allow my more able students to decide individually which organiser they wish to use, but you could always decide for different groups as part of your differentiation.
Once this has been complete, students can then have a go at answering the assessment question in activity 4: Does Mary I deserve the title, ‘Bloody Mary’? This slide also includes a suggested structure for answering the question, along with possible connectives. I've also thrown in my award winning literacy and persuasive literacy mats to help sweeten the deal. The final plenary slides looking at how history is written will help your students draw their own conclusions about just how bloody was Queen Mary I.
The Aims & Objectives are:
Theme: Consequences of the break with Rome?
Know: Why did Queen Mary I burn protestant heretics?
Understand: How has Mary been viewed by both contemporaries and historians?
Evaluate: Does Mary I deserve the title 'Bloody Mary'?
WILF - What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: Which sources support / disagree with the 'Bloody Mary' interpretation?
Explain: Why do people disagree about how 'Bloody' Mary I was?
Analyse: How far does Queen Mary deserve the title 'Bloody Mary?'

This great lesson is designed to help students assess how successful the Elizabethan Church Settlement Act of 1559 was at promoting peace and stability in England? This is potentially a difficult topic to teach, but these resources approach the topic in a fun and engaging way that is suitable for the full ability range. They also link up the religious changes from previous Tudor monarchs and will allow students to predict what problems would face the Stuarts.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a PowerPoint with thirteen slides. These include aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, thinking skills activities, pictures, templates and information slides. When you deliver this lesson, you can choose from a selection of starters which include a snowballing starter of the key words or a thinking fork template on attitudes towards the death of Queen Mary. The next activity involves getting your students to draw a religious seesaw and then sorting various statements from the Elizabethan Church Settlement Act and deciding whether they would satisfy either Catholics or Protestants. Once complete, students can draw a line to decide which side the changes benefited the most. Later on in the course, you can refer back to this diagram whilst looking at either James or Charles I and draw links and conclusions as to how they were unpicking the compromise and laying the foundations for the English Civil War. The next activity gets students to sort through a series of cards to help them evaluate how successful the Elizabethan Church Act was at reducing religious tensions. For more detailed information, please refer to the detailed preview.
The aims and objectives of this lesson are:
Theme: What were the consequences of the break with Rome?
Know: What were the terms of the Church Settlement Act of 1559?
Understand: Who opposed the Elizabethan Church Settlement Act?
Evaluate: How successful was the Church Settlement Act at maintaining peace?
WILF - What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: What were the successes and failures?
Explain: Who opposed the Church Settlement Act and why?
Analyse: How far was the Church Settlement Act a success?

This great little resource gets students to sort through a series of 12 primary and secondary sources about the reign of Queen Mary I 1553 - 1558, with the aim of deciding whether she deserves the reputation of Bloody Mary. Once this has been complete, students can then have a go at answering the question: Does Mary I deserve the title, ‘Bloody Mary’?
I would recommend that this resource should be used with either a core or advanced group as there is a lot of reading, which would be too much for a foundation group with low literacy skills.
This resource makes a great starter or plenary. It can be cut up the students or placed into envelopes for use with several classes or even set as a piece of homework.
The aims and objectives are:
Theme: Consequences of the break with Rome?
Know: Why did Queen Mary I burn protestant heretics?
Understand: How has Mary been viewed by both contemporaries and historians?
Evaluate: Does Mary I deserve the title 'Bloody Mary'?
WILF - What Am I Looking For?

This great resources has successfully engaged students of all abilities for over 24 years. It was the number one download on the website www,schoolhistory.co.uk. This much loved resource has been updated and tweaked so that it is accessible for the full ability range.
The worksheet comes in two sections. The first looks at the traditional story of the Gunpowder Pot as it has been taught to school children for hundreds of years. I have created a series of questions and activities aimed at foundation and core students that helps them to study an old Victorian school history book version. This is a great exercise to help students appreciate how history has been taught in the past.
The next section looks a the revisionist version of the Gunpowder Plot and gives students a series of contemporary sources and secondary research by historians to help them decide whether Guy Fawkes was innocent or guilty. The activity aims to get them to draw a table to help them analyse the information before having a go at writing a newspaper report from either a Catholic or Protestant stand point on what happened.
If you like this resource, then I have produced a PowerPoint and series of card sorts,which may want to download separately or in the bundled version of this resource entitled the Gunpowder Plot, 1605.
The aims and objectives are:
Theme: What were the consequences of the break with Rome?
Know: What happened during the Gunpowder Plot?
Understand: Why did the Catholics want to murder the King and Parliament?

This great resource is designed to be used a starter or plenary to help students sort through the chronology of what happened during the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. It is designed to work alongside any main stream resource or video on this topic. I have designed a lesson around this resource using the PowerPoint to drive the main activities which would suit a primary school or lower ability group at secondary group. If you are looking for a more challenging resource, I have also uploaded work suitable for higher ability students.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a twelve slide PowerPoint presentations with starters, plenaries, historical sources, information slides and video clips to support the main activity. You will also be able to download a Microsoft word document with a copy of the key events.
I normally keep a copy of the card sort in 15 envelopes and get me students to quickly order them into the order in which they think it happened before feeding back to a class discussion. This takes about 3 minutes. However, you can also give it out as a sheet and ask them to cut out the cards and stick them into your book. This can take up to 15 minutes. If you are being observed it might be an idea to get your students to sort the cards at the beginning to help you evaluate what they know and then do it again at the end to help you demonstrate progress.
This is a tried and trusted resource which has never failed to ignite my learners interest in the topic. The aims and objectives of this lesson are:
Theme: The consequences of the Break with Rome
•Know: What happened during the Gunpowder Plot in 1605?
•Understand: Why would the Catholics want to kill the king and parliament?
•Evaluate: How far does the historical evidence support that Guy Fawkes was framed?
•Skills: Source Analysis, Cause, Consequence & Collaboration

These outstanding resources have been tried tested over twenty six years and have never failed to inspire and engage the fully ability range. Since we first uploaded this lesson in 2000, it has been the most popular downloads of all time and has been copied and adapted by schools all over the world. With the help of the team at the History Academy, we have updated and improved the lesson as you can see from the preview panel.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a PowerPoint Presentation which includes starters, plenaries, information slides links to video clips, and seven activities to complete with your students. This resource can be fully customised and at several points you can chose alternative activities that may be relevant to the ability of your students. You will also be able to download a card sort and tailor made video for this lesson. Please see the preview panel.
The card sort - Henry VIII''s problems includes four headings under which the students can sort the rest of the cards. These are power, religion, money and personal. The rest of the resource then includes 14 cards which can be matched to them. Once the cards have been sorted, the students should then be able to move onto the review triangle activity. This is best done in pairs or groups, with one person from each group feeding back their results onto the IWB and explaining their choice.
In a nut shell, students complete the snowballing starter, watch the video, make some notes and then have the choice of completing the card sort, colour coding a printed off version of Henry VIII's problems or creating their own summary. They can then have a go at deciding which problems were the most significant before having a go at doing a prediction exercise where they write a speech outlining how they would solve Henry VIII's problems. This is followed with some information slides and an extended writing exercise with support slides where the students explain why Henry VIII broke with Rome. Finally, there this is consolidated with a heads and tails activity were they match how Henry VIII solved each problem identified earlier.
The aims and objectives are:
Theme: Why did Henry VIII break from Rome?
Know: What problems faced Henry VIII in 1525?
Understand: Which problems were connected to money, religion, power and a legitimate heir?
