The Gunpowder Plot sequencing activity

This is a sequencing activity which tells the story of the gunpowder plot. Each child or pair/group receives three sheets of pictures which are in the correct order (I stapled them for ease). There are a set of explanations to go with each picture but they are jumbled up on each page. EG page one pictures go with page one words but the words are jumbled up. I gave the children one set of words at a time and they completed the 3 pages one after the other so that there weren't too overwhelmed. There are notes on the slides explaining what everything is. There are 2 levels of reading difficulty included. My Year 2 class loved doing this last year. You could always remove some steps by cutting and pasting if you wanted to simplify it further for example for year 1 children. I used as a whole class guided reading activity but it could also be done in groups or independently.
