'King' Cromwell? : a Key Stage 3 depth study - Pupils' Book

"This is History!" is the Schools History Project's Key Stage 3 scheme of work for National Curriculum history.

Through a combination of in-depth and overview units, it offers a varied, relevant and challenging diet for the whole Key Stage 3 History programme of study.

This book is an in-depth study about the English Civil War.

Section 1 provides an innovative approach to one of the most important but most problematic aspects of the Britain 1500-1750 study unit: the causes and consequences of the Civil War.

These topics are studied through examining the decisions which faced Oliver Cromwell - should he fight against the King; should he execute the King; and should he accept the crown himself.

The big task is for pupils to write their own biography of Cromwell - bringing these decisions to life.

Section 2 is a shorter citizenship/political literacy unit exploring how the Civil War changed England's system of government.
