This written diverse assessment  gives your year 8 classes the chance to consider how the changes in this period affected ordinary people. This fits with good assessment practice at KS3.

First, students are reminded of the work of Eamon Duffy who wrote about how the villagers of Morebath experienced the Reformation.

Then the pupils remind themselves of the big changes that happened during this period.

Then, they use their knowledge to write a narrative account describing how things changed.
