<p>Complete lesson on historical Monarchs and Leaders. This presentation consists of the following topics: story of Boudica; King Henry VIII (8th); Queen Elizabeth I; Winston Churchill and Queen Victoria. Additionally, this lesson has fun and engaging activities which makes it easier for children to learn about historical Monarchs and Leaders.</p>

<p>This KS3 topic covers a single lesson and introduces the course on The Tudors by providing students with a complete overview of the monarchs. It’s simple but effective and I’ve had fantastic justified reasons from students when I’ve used it.</p> <p>Aims and Objectives:</p> <ul> <li>To know the Tudor family tree and the order in which they reigned.</li> <li>To know a few basic facts about each of the Tudor monarchs.</li> <li>To compare their reigns and make a judgement on who was the greatest Tudor monarch.</li> </ul> <p>The starter focuses on the family tree and establishes the order and reasons for reigns. We then work through each of the monarchs, whilst students rank them on a continuum from worst to best. I’ve always made them note down two reasons for each but the information sheet could equally be adapted into cards for them to order. Students are then asked to make an independent judgement on which monarch was the greatest and we discuss the choices at the end.</p>

Hook starter: As pupils enter the room the presentation will display an autonomously moving spot light to reveal a picture clue about the lesson. <br /> <br /> Learning Intention and differentiated outcomes (SMSC). <br /> <br /> Starter: Pupils' will discuss what qualities a good leader should hold before watching a short video clip inquiry into the leading figures of WWII:<br /> <br /> Churchill<br /> Stalin <br /> Hitler<br /> Roosevelt. <br /> <br /> Pupils' will then circulate the room studying the individual leaders, their background and specifically their leadership qualities during WWII. In groups pupils then build a silent conversation to debate, discuss, compare and contrast the four leaders. <br /> <br /> Pupil's then consolidate their views regarding the best leader answering a structured 8 mark exam style question. If time I then ask my pupils to peer assess with WW / EBI. <br /> <br /> All videos links are provided along with instructions and advice in the description of the presentation. <br /> <br /> Peep sheet and vocabulary builder have been included for differentiation. <br /> Many thanks
