3. How important was the role of key individuals and groups during the reign of Henry VIII? EXPLAIN what the relationship was like between Henry and the individuals/groups RECALL the different key individuals/groups under Henry VIII EVALUATE the power held by key individuals/groups Key Words: • Monarchy • Ministers • Impact • Dominate • Serve How important was the role of key individuals and groupsand how were they affected by developments?

4. Who were the key individual and groups during the reign of Henry VIII? Before we start analysing, and making judgements about the role of key individuals/groups, we need to remember the key individuals/groups during Henry VIII’s reign TASK: In your notes, write down a list of individuals/groups that you think could come up on the exam RECALL the different key individuals/groups under Henry VIII EXPLAIN what the relationship was like between Henry and the individuals/groups EVALUATE the power held by key individuals/groups

5. What was the relationship like between Henry and these individuals/groups? Firstly, each table is going to be given an essay, that relates to the key question of key individuals, during the reign of Henry VIII. You need to individually write down the question you have been given. • ‘The King’s ministers served Henry VIII well, but served themselves even better.’ Assess the validity of this view in the context of the years 1515 to 1540 • ‘Thomas Wolsey had a more significant impact on the Church than Thomas Cromwell, in the years 1515 to 1540’. Assess the validity of this view • ‘The wives of Henry VIII had a greater impact on his policies than anyone else’. Assess the validity of this view. • To what extent did Factions dominate Henry’s policy making in the years 1509-1547? RECALL the different key individuals/groups under Henry VIII EXPLAIN what the relationship was like between Henry and the individuals/groups EVALUATE the power held by key individuals/groups

6. Introduction • An introduction is an opportunity for you to show the examiner that you understand the question, and that you are a confident historian who has an opinion on historical debates. To demonstrate this in an introduction, you: • Define key words in the question • Outline a criteria which determines how you will measure the point of analysis • Put forward your judgement, that will be argued in every, single paragraph • TASK 1: Individually, in silence, write down your definitions and criteria • TASK 2: Now, compare your definitions and criteria with the person next to you • TASK 3: Now, you are going to share your findings as a table, and come to an agreement on the definitions and criteria you will use in your essay. Write these down on a whiteboard. RECALL the different key individuals/groups under Henry VIII EXPLAIN what the relationship was like between Henry and the individuals/groups EVALUATE the power held by key individuals/groups

7. Main Body Planning your main body can be difficult, in that it is hard to determine how much needs writing down. Therefore, I am going to model how to plan a paragraph, and then you will use this as a basis to plan your own paragraphs. RECALL the different key individuals/groups under Henry VIII EXPLAIN what the relationship was like between Henry and the individuals/groups EVALUATE the power held by key individuals/groups TASK: One side of the table are going to organise the FOR points, and the other side the AGAINST paragraphs. You need to plan as many paragraphs as possible, as in the next part of the lesson you are going to try and find a single judgement, and select the paragraphs that fit that judgement.

8. Creating a judgement Studying A Level History makes you a historian in training (how exciting!!!) An integral part of being a ‘proper’ historian, is having a opinion on historical debates, and consistently arguing it. You now need to work as a table to compare your paragraphs, and see if you can find a central line of argument. This argument should not be simplistic (i.e. a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response). Instead it should seek to be nuanced (complex). You can often start nuanced judgements with the phrase ‘it depends on….’ RECALL the different key individuals/groups under Henry VIII EXPLAIN what the relationship was like between Henry and the individuals/groups EVALUATE the power held by key individuals/groups

9. Putting it all together RECALL the different key individuals/groups under Henry VIII EXPLAIN what the relationship was like between Henry and the individuals/groups EVALUATE the power held by key individuals/groups

Plenary: Which individual/groups held the most power over Henry VIII in the years 1509-1547? • TASK 1: Rank the key individuals/groups in terms of the power they held, by recreating the diagram, and putting their name in the relevant box. • Wolsey • More • Cromwell • Factions • Wives • TASK 2: Write a paragraph that justifies your decision.
