Did Mary Queen of Scots Deserve to Die?

This lesson contains:

• A starter to see how much students already know about Mary Queen of Scots.

• An overview of Mary and her life using some slides and a YouTube video which summarises her marriages etc. Students complete a multiple choice questionnaire as they go.

• A discussion of what Elizabeth should do with her cousin when Mary arrived in England in 1568.

• An information gathering exercise, using info sheets which can be used in groups or as a carousal, so that students can complete info about the 4 major plots/threats and judge each one for how much Mary was to blame.

• A plenary to judge whether Mary should have been executed.
