Originally designed for Y8 students, this is a lovely resource containing a collection of fictional letters. Students use these to identify reasons why Parliament won the English Civil War. They then consider which was the most important reason and create a timeline overview to summarise the war. An extension activity is also included which could be used for those who finish early, or as a homework task. Ready to print and teach!

Teaching Year 8 class online. We discussed the letters one at a time and students came up with examples of how Parliament had won the war from each letter. Students completed the tasks and finished for homework.
