This unit introduces helps your students make sense of the ‘English Revolutions’ of the Early Modern Period.

It is structured around the big question: How did Revolutions change Early Modern England?  Clearly the main conceptual focus of the unit is historical change. 

There is also o focus on similarity and difference as you will ask how changes affected different people in society.

However, your classes will assess how the Reformation impacted upon one small community. 

They will consider why an execution took place. 

Also, they will discover the work of a female spy. They will see how Elizabeth Alkin changed the course of the Civil War.

There is a great lesson on the Restoration.

In addition, they will challenge a historians interpretation about the Scientific Revolution.

Finally they are introduced to some seriously cool history – the history of emotions –  by looking at material culture from this period.
