Lesson 3 - The young Henry VIII

Lesson Context

A lesson on Henry VIII's early life. This is lesson three in my series of lessons on The Tudors, however can also be taught as an individual lesson or included in your own sequence of lessons. All of my lessons are designed to last at least 60 minutes; this can be adapted to fit the ability of your class.

Lesson Content

Students read about Henry's early life and with a dual coding task,  identify what kind of personality he had and what kind of skills he had that might help him be a good king. Students then fill in a timeline of Henry's life with emphasis on significant people and events. We then move onto religion with a guided reading and question task, before looking at the differences between the catholic and protestant churches. A plenary allows students to list reasons why ordinary people might not be happy with the catholic church.

Everything you need to teach this lesson is included; worksheets are included ready to print double sided - there are 'glue here' instructions for students.

Teacher notes are at the bottom of each individual slide for assistance where needed.
