If the content in the box is accurate, write it straight onto your copy. If the content is false, you need to write the correct answer in your version!

2. Due today Whilst I check you have completed your homework, please compare your justifications with your partner, and add any evidence you have not used in green pen. CHALLENGE: Does the evidence you have added undermine any of your scores? Why/why not? You need to have finished your Mid-Tudor crisis graphs, adding justifications to your crisis score out of 10.

3. Lesson Title: Mid-Tudor Crisis Assessment Understand the different views on whether there was a ‘Mid-Tudor Crisis’ COMPARE the arguments used by historians against your own knowledge Evaluate whether historians are convincing in their arguments • How effectively did the Tudors restore and develop the powers of the monarchy? • In what ways and how effectively was England governedduring this period? • 3. How far did intellectual and religious ideas change and develop and with what effects? • How did relations with foreign powers change and how was the succession secured? • 5. How did English society and economy change and with what effects? • 6. How important was the role of key individuals and groupsand how were they affected by developments? Key Words: Convincing Unconvincing Crisis Extract Interpretation

4. The Tudor Extract Question • For one minute, silently brainstorm everything you know about the Tudor extract question in your notes. • Now, compare what you have put with the person next to you, add anything you have missed in a green pen. • The basics! • There will be three extracts • An extract is a section of a Tudor historian’s book. • The extracts will be on the same topic, and cover a 20 year period • There will be one question on all three extracts • That question will be worth 30 marks • That question will NOT expect you to compare the extracts • The structure! • P1: You need to demonstrate that you understand the historian’s interpretation (overall argument + reasons) • P2: You need to analyse the arguments you find convincing by bringing in own knowledge that proves it! • P3: You need to analyse the arguments you find unconvincing, by bringing in own knowledge that proves it! • P4: Overall, how convinced are you by this extract? Justify your judgement. Compare The arguments used by historians against your own knowledge. Critically Evaluate Whether historians are convincing in their arguments Understand The different views on whether there was a ‘Mid-Tudor Crisis’

5. Using your understanding of the historical context, assess how convincing the arguments in these three extracts are in relation to the crises faced by the Tudors in the years 1533 to 1558. [30 marks] Extract A We may at once define the fundamental issue of these decades; that of the continuity, security and power of the Tudor Monarchy. The theme of ensuring security is constant; whether this takes the form of Henry VIII’s frantic quests to stabilise the succession to the throne following the birth of Edward in 1537, or of Edward VI, a sickly boy destined never to achieve adulthood, or, finally, of Mary, ‘the Spanish Tudor’, the most tragic of them all. Throughout these years the security of the monarchy was directly reflected in their religious policies and international relations. The security and power of the Crown were affected by these issues and by financial and economic problems. The monarchs were beset by the perpetual fear that any one or combination of these issues, might give rise to civil strife. It is this integral relationship between the different factors, which gives the crisis a certain unity. It was a crisis of both the dynasty and society. Adapted from W Jones, The Mid-Tudor Crisis, 1973 You have been given an example answer to this extract. TASK 1: Read the entire response. TASK 2: Use the mark scheme to give the answer a level (to do this, given each column a level and then average it out). TASK 3: Fill in the WWW and EBI comments that are underneath the mark scheme. Analyse The arguments used by historians to support their thesis. Critically Evaluate Whether historians are convincing in their arguments Understand The different views on whether there was a ‘Mid-Tudor Crisis’ CHALLENGE: In one word, what is preventing this answer from getting a higher mark?

6. On the basis of the answer we have just marked, you are now going to plan an answer to extract C. Please put a post it note in the box below the activity you are on, so I can keep check of your progress! Compare The arguments used by historians against your own knowledge. Critically Evaluate Whether historians are convincing in their arguments Understand The different views on whether there was a ‘Mid-Tudor Crisis’

7. Mid-Tudor Crisis Review TASK: Complete the pyramid individually on whiteboards Which interpretation do you find most convincing? Explain your view. Analyse The arguments used by historians to support their thesis. Critically Evaluate Whether historians are convincing in their arguments Understand The different views on whether there was a ‘Mid-Tudor Crisis’ Give one piece of evidence to support the argument that there was a Mid-Tudor Crisis, and one to undermine this argument. Recall the three different views on whether there was a Mid-Tudor Crisis.

8. Flipped Learning • Write up Extract B in timed conditions. If you don’t finish when 20 minutes is up, draw a line and then continue your answer (so I can see how far you got in timed conditions) • Create a flow diagram of Elizabeth’s life before becoming QueenBullet point the most: • surprising fact about Elizabeth as a young woman • saddening fact about Elizabeth as a young woman • Remember you need to fill in your revision grid (or alternate) for the Mid-Tudor period

9. Extract C Hint Sheet • Overall, does this historian think there is a Mid-Tudor. Keep in mind he differentiates the English people from the Tudor State. • Once you have decided his overall thesis (argument), find reasons he uses to support his view. I would separate these into reasons that relate to the English people, and reasons that relate to the Tudor State. • In your analysis of whether these reasons are convincing or not, you need to look at whether you are convinced about what he says about English people, and what he says about the Tudor State. • Remember to cover all the monarchs in the extract!
