• Description: Elizabethan England, c1568-1603. GCSE History is an engaging and challenging subject that is both interesting and useful for building skills such as: analysis, evaluation and written communication. We continue the second year of our course this block with the study of Elizabeth I's rule. We will introduce Mary Queen of Scots, Elizabeth's cousin, and explore the threat that she posed the Queen, both due to her birthright and claim to the throne, and her strict Catholic beliefs. We will study the numerous 'plots' against Elizabeth, that each had the aim of placing Mary Queen of Scots on the throne at their centre. We will move on to study England's changing relationship and growing conflict with Spain, culminating in the infamous Spanish Armada. Lastly, we will consolidate our knowledge of this topic and develop our written skills by practicing some exam style questions.
