I did this lesson the day after a lesson on the Civil War. Name cards and scripts were given out to volunteers to act out the trial (we even moved the tables round to look like a court room). Then we went through each day of the trial and analysed the behaviors of the characters, and whether Charles was getting a fair trial. The pupils then paired up, numbered 1 and 2, 1s gave a reason for execution, 2s gave a reason against. We chose the strongest argument and gave that person a point. We then had a result of which won - for or against.

I used this as a display of the Tudor family tree, crowns for the monarchs, and dates of their reigns. Helped lower groups recognise who was who.

A collection of stuff I've used with Year 8 on James I and the Gunpowder Plot topic. The facebook template is great for collating information in a way the students really enjoy.

The evidence and table was just a card shorting exercise on A3 paper, and ended with a vote as to whether the plot was a conspiracy or not.
