Mary Rose planning and resources

A study of an aspect of history or a site dating from a period beyond 1066 that is significant in the locality: Mary Rose
Enquiry question: Why did the Mary Rose sink?

This resource come with a 7-lesson plan of an enquiry into why did the Mary Rose sink? This unit also explores how diverse the crew members of the Mary Rose were. I would like to say a massive thank you to the Mary Rose museum as thier website is incredible for gathering information.

The sequence of lessons: hook, chronology lesson, gathering information, making sense of the information, children draw their own conclusions, check their understand and then the final outcome.
This unit is a local study about the Mary Rose. It is aimed at upper key stage 2, but it is easily adaptable for lower key stage 2.
It comes with key skills for each lesson: Chronology, Continuity and Change, Significance, interpreting historical sources and thinking critically.

This planning also comes with clearly differentiated resources. Only exception is if you want to use a physical timeline and artefacts, but other options are offered.
On the planning grid there is also the option to assess the children as you move through the lessons according to the skills if you so wish.
Finally, there is a cover sheet with skills that can be stuck into the pupil’s books at the beginning of the topic.
