Elizabethan England: revision notes
This mini pack of revision notes for year 11 students covers all topics in the GCSE Edexcel British depth study 'Early Elizabethan England, 1558–1588'. Students can engage actively with the content through a range of activities, or the answers can be handed out as ready-completed knowledge organisers.
Activities include:
- matching definitions to key words, including key figures of the period
- completing gapped summaries of the key plots against Elizabeth and summarising the similarities and differences between them
- completing mind maps with information from the revision notes
- categorising key events on a timeline by theme.
The timeline covers dates for the entire Elizabethan period and so can be used with units on Elizabethan England from other exam boards.
