We all believe in something. It may be one thing; it may be lots of things. Some may be easier to believe than others, but this is down to each person’s opinion. These worksheets help students to question what they believe and why, and which sources can be relied upon to support those opinions. Using the legend surrounding the reported survival of the Russian princess, Anastasia, after the Russian Revolution of 1917, the students research the evidence behind the myth and assess them for their reliability. Discussions are also held regarding how we decide what we believe in.

These worksheets help your student to discover more about the Terracotta Army and who discovered them, local farmers who were digging a new well. Their task is to write a letter to their family as one of the farmers who first discovered the Warriors or a report for a magazine as one of the archaeologists who helped unearthed the other pits.

The Hanging Baskets of Babylon conjure up romantic images of lavish, luxurious and colourful flowers cascading down over light brick walls. The awe-inspiring sight must have been why Herodotus included it in his list of Seven Wonders. However, they are not standing today and there is a distinct lack of their documentation in Babylonian history, so have evoked debates as to whether they existed at all. These worksheets aid your students in carrying out research into the Hanging Gardens as well as being able to examine and analyse a sources reliability. The difference between fact and opinion is explored to help the students answer whether they thought the Gardens actually existed. The worksheets conclude with a discussion about our beliefs, how we develop them and whether having different beliefs effects our world
