Why do we remember Queen Elizabeth? KS3 lesson

(0)
Title: Why do we remember Queen Elizabeth? Learning objectives: -Identify the achievements of Queen Elizabeth I. -Decide which are the most important/significant achievements of Queen Elizabeth I. -Evaluate why these achievements are important and compare them to how she is remembered in history. The lesson is aimed at KS3 level students. Its intention is to investigate the main achievements of Queen Elizabeth and decide which are the most significant. It also leads to the discussion of why she is remembered as the virgin queen rather than a more formidable name to suit those achievements. This can lead to really interesting discussions in my experience. The main activities are a gap fill introduction, diamond nine activity and a PEE paragraph to conclude. This is followed by class discussion and a homework.
