AQA A Level Tudors 1485-1603 : Henry VIII Bundle

**AQA A Level 1C The Tudors: England, 1485–1603** I have produced this bundle of resources on Henry VIII to help A level history students access the course and make some of the ideas, themes and concepts of the Tudors more accessible. Henry VIII was a larger than life character who has left a long lasting legacy on our history Therefore the enquiry question throughout this bundle of resources will be to question how strong and successful Henry was during his reign. Students will learn how effectively Henry ruled England and how government evolved and the use of Parliament changed during his reign. They will assess his character and personality and question and evaluate his decision making. They will judge the significance of individuals in his reign such as Cardinal Wolsey, Sir Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell as well as economic development. Students will look at his aims in foreign policy and question how successful he was in his pursuit of military glory under Wolsey and beyond or whether he just played third fiddle in Europe. Finally they will learn about the political, social, economic and religious upheaval caused by his divorce and the break with Rome. The lessons are as follows: L1 Introduction L2 Aims of Henry VIII L3 Henry VIII and Government L4 Catherine of Aragon L5 Rise of Wolsey L6 Interpretations of Wolsey L7 Downfall of Wolsey L8 King’s Great Matter L9 Break with Rome L10 Henry VIII & Humanism L11 Rise of Cromwell L12 Pilgrimage of Grace L13 Dissolution of the Monasteries L14 How Protestant was England by 1547? L15 Foreign Policy under Wolsey L16 Henry VIII Foreign Policy 1529-1547 L17 Henry VIII and Society L18 Henry VIII and the Economy The lessons include the two types of exam question used, with examples of how to tackle them, using model answers, helpful hints and tips, structuring and scaffolding as well as markschemes. However, please refer to the AQA website for further assessment materials as they are subject to copyright. The lessons are also differentiated and fully resourced and allow students to reach the very top marks. This is the second of four bundles I have created for the Tudors A Level history course. If you have any questions about the lessons, please email me via my TES shop, or any other information about the course. I would also welcome any reviews, which would be gratefully appreciated.
