Black Tudors
<p><strong>The Tudors</strong></p>
<p>The aim of this lesson is to evaluate the role the Black Tudors played in Tudor society.</p>
<p>Students are given the context of the Tudor times, where they use some source scholarship and questioning to decide how and why Black Tudors came to Britain.</p>
<p>Students then have to ascertain which roles and forms of employment they had using a dual coding activity to decipher them.</p>
<p>There are video links included as well as a thinking quilt, which is designed to challenge concepts and judge the value and importance of their impact upon Tudor England.</p>
<p>The main task is some research which requires students to analyse five Black Tudors in some differentiated Case Studies.</p>
<p>The plenary concludes by checking what they have learnt in the lesson using an odd one out activity or by linking symbols and images used throughout the lesson.</p>
<p>The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning.</p>
<p>The resource includes suggested teaching strategies, differentiated materials and comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.</p>
