King Henry VIII Lesson
Learning objectives
In this lesson, students will examine the reign of King Henry VIII, focusing on how his personal desires for a male heir triggered England’s break from the Catholic Church and the establishment of the Church of England. They will also explore his six marriages, his ambitious building projects such as Hampton Court Palace and the Mary Rose, and the way his political and religious decisions reshaped the direction of English history well beyond his death in 1547. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, including 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.
