Guy Fawkes - Innocent or Guilty?

We have a wide range of fun and interactive resources on the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605. We have bundled and discounted them all together in this package so that you can choose a range of different options to suit your students. Just as with our Queen Mary / Bloody Mary lesson, these resources look at both the traditional Protestant / Whig interpretation of Guy Fawkes as well as the modern revisionist interpretation that he was possibly framed. This bundle includes PowerPoints, Worksheets and various card sorts and writing frames that will help your students come to a balanced conclusion of their own. It goes without saying that I would recommend watching the Historyonics version of the Gunpowder Plot with your students, which we have also unloaded for free to our dedicated YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/bXK5bppu7DQ If you like these resources then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.
