This lesson is suited to pupils who have covered the changes in religion under Henry VIII and Edward VI previously. An excellent way to develop pupils' critical thinking skills. Starter: Pupils complete the table on PPT slide 3 (I usually print the table out for pupils). Main: Pupils are split into groups and given a copy each of the Robert the Preist mystery sheet. They must use the sheet to decide what Robert decided to do once Mary became Queen. They will present their findings to the rest of the class. Plenary: True / False activity.
