Teaching about Elizabeth I and Europe

I have been looking at thinkinghistory.co.uk, the website run by Ian Dawson. This is a phenomenal resource. I found a wonderful activity to help students to understand the European geopolitical situation in 1558/9 and beyond. This involves an activity utilising floor space as a map of Europe and getting the students to represent and sit in the positions of the various countries. It can be a great way to help students understand the complex power politics between the European powers and is certainly an activity I would be keen to try out.

Here is the link to it:
