The Plot

This section of the Teachers' Resource Pack focuses on four main learning questions:

1. When and where did the Gunpowder Plot take place?
2. What was the Gunpowder Plot?
3. Who were the Plotters and why did they want to blow up the Houses of Parliament?
4. What really happened in November 1605?

The depth to which these questions will be discussed and answered will be determined by the students involved.
