Card Sort - Was Bonnie Prince Charlie a Hero or a Villain?

This brilliant lesson is designed to help students evaluate the personality and character of Bonnie Prince Charlie through a fun and interactive card sort. If you are looking for an in depth lesson on what happened during the Jacobite Rebellion, then we have other buying options available in our store.

The young, dashing Charles Stuart stands out from the historical record and demands closer examination. To some he is a hero who represented the rebirth of an independent Scotland, whilst to others he was simply the last dying gasp of the Stuart monarchy and the lackey of the French King who was sent over to destabilise the United Kingdom.

When you purchase this lesson you will be able to download two documents.
The first contains the Powerpoint, which includes the aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, information slides, historical sources, task and activities to support the card sort and its follow up activity. The second is a single page Word Document which contains two heading cards and eighteen information cards to be sorted so that students can evaluate whether Bonnie Prince Charlie was a hero or a villain. Please see the preview for more information.
