The English Civil War The aim of this lesson is to decide why an audacious plot was hatched against James 1 and why might the plotters themselves be framed by the Government itself. This lesson is therefore split into two. The first half examines the men and their roles in the infamous plot to blow up the King in 1605. Students are introduced through talking heads to Guy Fawkes and King James. They also study sources from the time, including Robert Cecil’s account of the plot and analyse the words trying to make inferences between fact and fiction. A model answer is provided to aid their analytical skills. Furthermore they will evaluate the causes and consequences of the plot and its significance today. The second part of the lesson will require the interpretation of a number of sources to decide if the plotters were actually framed by Cecil and the government who allegedly knew about the plot all along and actively encouraged it. Students have to decide for themselves before reaching a judgement using key words to aid them. This is excellent groundwork for source analysis they will later tackle at GCSE. The plenary is to talk like an historian answering key questions using information from the lesson. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited throughout to show the progress of learning. The resource includes suggested teaching strategies and differentiated materials, and comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.

The Gunpowder Plot

This resource is aimed at Year 9 students or high ability KS3. This lesson has also been created to fit into a 1-hour lesson. This lesson includes information about the build up to the Gunpowder Plot and who was involved. The lesson also explains what happened after. There are several tasks throughout to consolidate learning and videos to avoid cognitive overload.

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. I have since updated it with a few tweaks. 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 series of card sorts which may want to download separately or in the combo version of this resource entitled the Gunpowder Ploy, 1605. The aims and objectives are: Theme: What were the causes of the English Civil War? Know: What happened during the Gunpowder Plot? Understand: Why did the Catholics supposedly want to murder the King? Evaluate: How far do the contemporary sources and research by historians prove that Guy Fawkes was innocent or guilty? WILF - What Am I Looking For? Identify & describe: What evidence and facts supports that Guy Fawkes was innocent or guilty? Explain: How does the evidence support whether Guy Fawkes was innocent or guilty? Analyze: Come to a judgement on how far Guy Fawkes was guilty? If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.

Two lessons covering the topic of the Gunpowder Plot: L1: James I - explores who James I was and his role in Britain, then leads onto students designing their own flag. L2: The Gunpowder Plot investigation - students become detectives for the lesson to get to the bottom of the Gunpowder Plot mystery; strong focus on source work. L3: Assessment Challenge activities (in pink bubbles) have also been included in each lesson. Used with a higher-ability Year 8 class, but can easily be adapted to fit other ages and abilities. Some parts, i.e. information, have been taken from other resources, but most activities are my own. Please rate my resources! Thank you and I hope your students enjoy these lessons as much as mine did :)

This lesson focuses on whether the Gunpowder Plotters were framed or not. Lesson includes a PowerPoint, and two information sheets - one with key background information and a second with primary sources.

This lesson is based on the Renaissance, Revolution and Reformation KS3 textbooks and the Historyonics documentary on the Gunpowder Plot (available on YouTube-please check it is still there before purchasing!) The lesson includes a range of activities involving source analysis and using this to form a written judgement as well as making notes in a directed way from the documentary. The PPT also contains success criteria to help guide the students and differentiation (red=least challenging up to green=most challenging). Please feel free to ask any questions :)
