<p><strong>Part 2: 20 questions from the text</strong>. Questions begin with straightforward fact recall, becoming more challenging (broadly following Bloom’s Taxonomy), moving through analysis and ending on evaluative / interpretative questions. Version 1 of the questions provides a grid for students’ answers; Version 2 is for more-able students, answering in exercise books, with scope for more expansive answers.</p>
<p><strong>Part 3: a blank Venn Diagram</strong> to directly compare the leaders’ lives. A4 and A3 versions.</p>
<p>There’s also a much more detailed explanation with tips from how my students have responded to this activity.</p>
<p>All word documents are fully editable: you may wish to tweak some of the instructions or questions to suit your class.</p>
