Market Place Activity: Consequences of the Break with Rome

This fun and engaging market place activity has been written to provide either an introduction or an overview to the consequences of the Break with Rome. If you are short for curriculum time, this great way to quickly cover the key events for Bloody Mary, The Spanish Armada, The Gun Powder Plot and the Pilgrim Fathers, whilst fitting them into the bigger picture of what was happening in the run up to the English Civil War. If you decide to use it in this way, it might be an idea to get your classes to chose one or two of the topics to do in detail. To this end, I have bundled this resource up with my matching resources on my TES shop where they can be purchased at a discount or purchased separately.

When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a sixteen slide PowerPoint Presentation, which contains everything you will need for the lesson. The PowerPoint includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes as well as a starters, plenaries, information slides and historical sources on Bloody Mary, The Spanish Armada, The Gunpowder Plot and The Pilgrim Fathers, video clips. I have also included a template for summarising the information which can be printed off on either A4 or A3, depending upon how you wish to conduct your gather and share exercise. The lesson rounds off with a thinking skills review triangle and an extended writing exercise to help students decide which consequence was the most significant. For more information, please see the detailed preview.
