A simple task to get pupils to think about what constitutes a national hero, what that person had to do to deserve such admiration, and whether or not Henry Tudor (VII) deserved such a title in 1916 when statues representing heroes of Welsh History were unveiled for the first time in Cardiff City Hall in 1916. The powerpoint/task is self explanatory, and has proven successful in getting pupils to consider how values have changed since 1916. One slide referring to the 11 statues provides an opportunity for a lively debate on whether or not they think they should still be regarded as heroes, and if not, who they'd replace them with! Enjoy!
