This lesson explores the question that dogged Elizabeth I for much of her reign - who was she going to marry? This lesson explores the issues that England faced, and the many suitors that Elizabeth considered.
- The lesson starts with students considering a primary source, the family portrait of Henry VIII. What does this tell us about the concerns of the Tudor dynasty?
- What problems did Elizabeth face when she became queen? Why did she need to find a husband?
- Who wanted to marry Elizabeth? This dating game is perfect for student interaction. This could be set up as a speed dating mock up, with students acting as expert educators, or with a carousel.
- Two exam style questions - explaining why it was important that Elizabeth didn’t marry, and assessing a source on Elizabeth’s decision to not marry.
This lesson was developed not developed with a specific GCSE guideline in mind but could easily be used for OCR or AQA guidelines.
