The reading age of the reading material / tasks is 10 - 11, with more specific historical terms explained as part of the lessons. All lessons can be taught by specialist or non-specialists, the content and tasks are well organised even if the teacher is not familiar with the time period. All lessons are SEND friendly, with short numbered tasks to complete that do not overload the pupils with too much information at once. Lessons are designed to work as a chronological story, from Emma of Normandy to King John, this makes it a lot easier for pupils to follow the events of early medieval England and France. The Rise and Fall of the Angevin Empire has been a really useful scheme of work to explain the reasoning and logic behind the Hundred Years War and the War of the Roses. It also follows on brilliantly from previous units of work of England’s history of migration.

Scheme takes between 8 - 10 weeks to complete. Lesson order: 1 of 7 - Early problems for Elizabeth 2 of 7- Religious Settlement 3 of 7- Mary, Queen of Scots and Plots at home 4 of 7 - Rivalry with Spain (threats from abroad) 5 of 7 - The Spanish Armada Invasion 6 of 7- Elizabethan poverty 7 of 7 -Elizabethan exploration GCSE History Edexcel: Paper 2 - British Depth study (Early Elizabethan England, 1558-88) I have organised this scheme of work with ‘cause and consequence’ (AO2) very much in mind. By allowing pupils to think about what problems existed for Elizabeth as she becomes queen, to her eventual success overcoming Catholic threats both home and abroad, pupil have shown to be able to explain their understanding better in the ‘explain why…’ and ‘how far do you agree’ questions. Similarly, pace has been at the core of the thinking of this unit of work. Some of the topics such as ‘entertainment’ and ‘education’ have been included as comprehensive homework tasks. Pupil have still been able to answer the higher marked questions we have attempted that focus on these two topic areas so I’m confident that the entriety of the course can be taught in just over two months.

I have created a separate booklet to cover the content for this unit of work. I have created this scheme of work to deal with two problems that this GCSE typically presented. The first is the time it takes to deliver and the second is the retention of material. I have found that by teaching this unit of work thematically as opposed to chronologically, students have been able to track and understand the changes in crime, law enforcement and punishment over time. As well as this, by returning ‘to the start’ after each feature from Medieval to Modern, students are able to recap and remember some of the unique features of each time period. Scheme takes between 12 - 15 weeks to complete.
