The Role of the Monarchy

This lesson pack and powerpoint by the Association for Citizenship Teaching aims to introduce teachers to the modern role of the monarchy in Britain's constitutional democracy. Intended for KS3-5 students this is a simple resource which can also be adapted for younger years. 

The lesson sets out to outline the role of the Head of State, the importance of the Head of State, and how the role has changed overtime. It has been made to commemorate HM Queen Elizabeth II’s life and explore the role she played in our society. There are plenty of opportunities to extend this lesson across two lessons and even into a research task/homework.
