A timeline of the Kings and Queens from 1066 - present day. 44 A4 posters with a blurb about each monarch and literacy support to help pupils learn new words. These look great in my classroom laminated and fixed to the walls. to create a great display. Ideal for new teachers (NQTs) looking for a display!
I use this lesson as an introduction to history with all KS3 classes. Students are invited to pull objects from a bag and analyse the evidence before writing up their findings. This would also work well as a tutor time activity.
