Mary Tudor: Was She Truly “Bloody Mary”? A full lesson exploring Mary I’s reign, her actions, and the debate over her legacy, featuring video analysis, discussion, and writing tasks.
This lesson introduces students to Mary Tudor, examining her life and reign through a structured video task with an accompanying question sheet.
Students then analyze key facts about Mary’s rule, including her religious policies, the Marian persecutions, and political decisions. They will evaluate whether these actions support her reputation as “Bloody Mary” or challenge this perception.
A final independent writing task allows students to form their own judgment, using evidence to argue whether Mary I deserves her infamous title.
Designed to promote critical thinking and debate, this lesson is ideal for KS3
