A follow up to my resource looking at the causes of the Glyndwr rebellion. This resource looks at the famous Glyndwr victory over Edmund Mortimer at the Battle of Bryn Glas (Pilleth) on June 22nd, 1402. The resources encourage pupils to categorise factors, and then use their knowledge to do some extended writing (PEEL task) on the key question. The PEEL sheet will aid pupils to attain L5, whilst follow up tasks can help them to access L6+. There is also an extended numeracy task for higher ability pupils. Enjoy.

Pupils should be given a map of 1605 London (found on ppt) and work out the radius impact areas a successful explosion could have had. They also have to work out a possible escape route for Guy Fawkes to an awaiting ship near Tower Bridge, calculate the distance he'd travel and the time he'd take. There's also a question to work out if Fawkes would have made it beyond the blast zones in time. Questions are based on the Numeracy Framework. You could differentiate by giving specific questions to different abilities. Enjoy!
