This is a tried and tested way of getting your students to understand the causes of the English Civil War in an hour or two – no more.
Starting with the hugely strange image, The World Turned Upside Down, how many strikingly odd aspects can the class remember in just 8 seconds? What might this mean?
Having established that this is all about the Civil War, the enquiry question is introduced: what caused the Civil War? Next they look at a number of images and captions to establish the narrative of events 1600-42.
Next they group the reasons and soon see the interconnectedness of the causes.
Finally they are introduced to three historians with different perspectives on the causes of the Civil War – which evidence will each one choose?
