The use of the personal story is a powerful tool which brings history to life and makes students care about the past. In the Early Elizabethan unit you hear from real people.
Inevitably you will meet Elizabeth’s cousin Mary Queen of Scots and work out how much of a threat she posed, and ultimately, why she was executed?
When focusing on Elizabeth’s problems you ask Why did the Earls of Westmorland and Northumberland revolt in 1569?
Using a particular place is also motivating to students as it makes history real.
What better place is there than the National Portrait Gallery? To deal with those two larger than life explorer types, Drake and Raleigh, your students have to decide which one will survive a gallery re-hang?
You will also venture around Tudor London as a visitor to the city with a keen eye on its changing culture.
Venturing further afield, your students will assess why the attempts to colonise Virginia failed.
This course covers all key content in the specification in an interesting and engaging way. It guides the students through all of the assessment criteria without making all of the lessons into a ‘death by exam question’ situation.
