This lesson follows on from the previous lesson. It picks up events around the time of the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660.

Causation is at the heart of the lesson.  Students are tasked with working out whether the Restoration of the Monarchy can be attributed to anger with the Protectorate?

 Or was it an optimism about Charles II’s future reign?

Students work their way through a series of contemporary clues, identifying the ‘mood of the nation’ by recording their findings on a ‘gauge’.

Then, they are challenged to take part in a ‘debate tunnel’, arguing for an assigned point of view.

The lesson takes an active, engaging format, which develops students’ ability to form carefully-evidenced arguments.

They are asked  to verbalise these arguments in a convincing way.
