How did religion change (Henry VIII - Mary I)?

(1)
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.

An idea I adapted from a colleague during my training year. Students come up with their own scores for each medieval weapon and then play the various games. Rules also part of document. Any comments welcome.

Template I often use for plenaries. Stopwatch is displayed on Board, as well as the rules, so that students are aware of time limits and rules. I have found that it works well with students of all abilities.

Resources I created to help low ability year 7s understand the chronology of 1066. Starter = quiz using post-its (you could adapt it to use mini whiteboards). Main = storyboard about the events of 1066. Plenary = Simon Says, with questions relating to what students have learnt in the lesson.

A resource I created that worked well with a year 8 class I teach. This was used in one of the later lessons as part of the Jack the Ripper SOW, when pupils have covered Jack's victims, the conflicting witness statements etc. As an extension task, pupils can write the message that Jack has in his inbox, helping to develop their creative writing skills

Template I use with years 7 and 8 as a plenary to show what they have learned in the lesson. Activity is active as well allowing the teacher to ascertain how much progress has been made in the lesson.
