Causes of the Protestant Reformation Lesson

In this lesson, students will learn about the various causes of the Reformation, including religious, political, economic, and social factors that led to the split in the Christian Church and the rise of Protestantism. They will explore how dissatisfaction with the Catholic Church, the invention of the printing press, and the desire for national and individual autonomy contributed to this significant historical event. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
