This great resources has never failed in 24 years to capture the imagination of my students and engage them in some outstanding learning. All my colleagues have routinely used as it is a popular resource, especially when used along side a few video clips about Henry. For example, the opening scene from the film 'a Man for all Seasons', when Henry VIII arrives at the home of Sir Thomas Moore and jumps into the mud!
The resource contains five primary sources and one secondary. The task and activities are designed to get students to explore these sources and try and describe what sort of man Henry VIII was and how his personality changed over time. It is always worthwhile pointing out that after Henry VIII's jousting accident, his leg was pretty painful with the ulcers he developed and this would have had a significant impact on his personality. The activities also try to get students to understand that what commentators said both at the time and after his death, may have had an impact on how favourably they described him.
I have also added a PowerPoint to work alongside this resource with all the relevant video clips linked into the slides. I have also included additional activities to suit the full range of learners.
Anyway, have fun with this resource, I have also uploaded a writing frame which can be used alongside the homework activity to help students structure their letter to the King of France.
Theme: Why did Henry VIII break with Rome?
Know: What sort of man was Henry VIII?
Understand: How did Henry VIII's personality change over time?
Evaluate: How reliable are the sources describing Henry VIII?
WILF - What Am I Looking For?
Identify & describe: What can we learn from the sources about Henry VIII?
Explain: How have the descriptions of his personality changed over time?
Analyse: Begin to form a judgement on why some sources are more reliable than others.

This great little resource is designed to get students to understand both how and why the US Government changed its policies towards Native Americans 1830 - 1851, through a card sort activity.
In the first stage, students match the actions of the US Government with their impact or consequences. In the second stage, students then reorganise them into their chronological order, if they haven’t already done so. In the final stage, after they have stuck them into their book, students can then debate, which key event was the turning point in the attitude of the government towards the Native Americans living on the Great Plains.
This activity would make a great starter, as they students could attempt to predict what happened, but it also makes a great plenary that would work with any text book or worksheet on the topic.
If you like this resource, please check out some of my other card sorts on the American West.
Have fun and don’t forget to print out the right sheet, as I’ve provide you with a completed version to project onto your IWB with the answers.

This engaging lesson has been designed to help students understand the aims of the peacemakers at Versailles in 1919. There are a series of tasks and activities built into the lesson, but the final outcome is to test students understanding by getting them to compare and contrast the aims of the peacemakers by completing a card sort exercise. These resources are suitable for the full range of ability and designed to work along side any mainstream textbook or video on the Treaty of Versailles. However, I have included a detailed PP to accompany the main resource. If you are interested in delving deeper into this topic, then this lesson can be purchased as bundled discount along with lessons on the Treaty of Versailles and downloaded from my online shop.
When you purchase these resources you will be able to download a two page card sort and an accompanying PowerPoint. The card sort includes aims, objectives, instructions, headings and information cards to sort, The eighteen slide PowerPoint includes a ‘snowballing’ and a ‘buzz and go starter’ as well information slides, historical sources, pictures, diagrams, tasks and activities to support the lesson. The PowerPoint also includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, templates and a plenary.
The aims and objectives for these resources are as follows:
