This great resources has successfully engaged students of all abilities for over 24 years. It was the number one download on the website www,schoolhistory.co.uk. This much loved resource has been updated and tweaked so that it is accessible for the full ability range.
The worksheet comes in two sections. The first looks at the traditional story of the Gunpowder Pot as it has been taught to school children for hundreds of years. I have created a series of questions and activities aimed at foundation and core students that helps them to study an old Victorian school history book version. This is a great exercise to help students appreciate how history has been taught in the past.
The next section looks a the revisionist version of the Gunpowder Plot and gives students a series of contemporary sources and secondary research by historians to help them decide whether Guy Fawkes was innocent or guilty. The activity aims to get them to draw a table to help them analyse the information before having a go at writing a newspaper report from either a Catholic or Protestant stand point on what happened.
If you like this resource, then I have produced a PowerPoint and series of card sorts,which may want to download separately or in the bundled version of this resource entitled the Gunpowder Plot, 1605.
The aims and objectives are:
Theme: What were the consequences of the break with Rome?
- Know: What happened during the Gunpowder Plot?
- Understand: Why did the Catholics want to murder the King and Parliament?
- Evaluate: How far does the historical evidence prove that Guy Fawkes was innocent or guilty?
WILF - What Am I Looking For?
- Identify & describe: What happened during the Gunpowder Plot?
- Explain: Why would the Catholics want to murder the King and Parliament?
- Analyse: How far does the historical evidence prove that Guy Fawkes was innocent or guilty?

The Reign of James I 1603 - 1625
These outstanding resources look at key issues during the controversial Reign of James I. They begin bylooking at the problems that he faced during his reign and the impact of the break with Rome and include his relations with Parliament, The Divine Rights of Kings, Money, taxation and religious problems. The issue of the religious problems facing James I is explored via both the Gunpowder Plot and The Pilgrim Fathers. Whilst interconnected with both these problems is popular beliefs and superstitions which is explored through my resources on Witchcraft. The overarching theme to all these resources is their link to not just the consequences of the break with Rome but ultimately the causes of the English Civil War.
