Guidance on use of Charles I picture for Activity 8.1

As a lesson starter, show the pupils a copy of the picture, ask them to stand up and quickly take the role of any character of their choice in the picture. Emphasise facial expressions. They should then freeze in position. They do not need to move away from their desks.

You can then choose a few people to tell you who they are, what they are doing and how they feel. Then ask the class to piece together what the scene shows.

This works quite well as an introduction to the reign of Charles I, but could be done later as part of an enquiry into the Civil War.
