This resource includes a selection of sources about the Spanish Armada. Students look at them and make inferences about reasons for the Armada's failure. There is a follow-up diamond nine activity and a suggested task using a video (available online). Full teaching notes explain how to deliver the tasks. The accompanying PowerPoint contains all the sources and task instructions. Originally planned for GCSE students, but could also work at KS3.
