Could you improve a museum exhibition on the Elizabethan poor?

This enquiry challenges students to improve upon a one-dimensional museum exhibition on ‘Elizabeth I and her people’.

First, they develop their knowledge of the Elizabethan poor.

Students then organise information about the lives of the poor in Elizabethan England and they consider why historians have disagreed so much about the experiences of the poor during this period.

Finally, they apply their new knowledge to the curating of a new museum display, first selecting images to display and then writing the labels for them.
