The TES website has some really helpful resources which I could use to help teach the Magna Carta to a year seven class.
The first worksheet has a flowchart which depicts the events which contributed to the formation of the Magna Carta, making the various grievances of the barons easily decipherable. There are then questions which help the students to engage with the material which will have previously been discussed in class:
Another worksheet which I have found helps to easily divide the effects of each part of the Magna Carta up in a tick-box table:
I think that this is quite useful in highlighting the intentions and effects of the Magna Carta, making the information more accessible and more easy to understand. It would also be pertinent to highlight the influence of the Magna Carta here, as by identifying its role in the formation of the American Constitution and the myth of Robin Hood as representative of the turmoil of King John’s reign, the relevance of the document to the present day may make the information more engaging for the students.
