Lesson details
Key learning points
- Attitudes and perspectives on love have changed significantly since the 16th century.
- Marriages in the 16th century were largely based on the choice of a woman's father, not love.
- Over time, women have had more freedom in matters of love, although marrying for advantages was still important.
- Love nowadays often involves digital declarations and generally more freedom in romantic relationships.
Common misconception
Students may be more accustomed to writing informative articles. In Learning Cycle 2, they may want to explain how love has changed over time rather than give their opinion on it.
Students can create a more engaging article, which is more vibrant with a clear sense of voice, by including their opinion on a topic.
