A well presented lesson on the Mystery of the Princes in the tower created for KS3 history students on Microsoft Powerpoint
A little about the lesson
Using primary and secondary source evidence, students work in pairs to investigate the mystery of the 2 princes in the tower using sources to decide who was the most likely murderer of the boys/ who had the most to gain from their disappearance. Or even if the boys were murdered at all?!
This is a good introduction to the Tudors and learning about the character of Henry VII and the problems the Tudors faced with security to their throne. Alternatively, this is a more challenging lesson for students to practice their historical skills of source evidence on for a skills based lesson as students are guided to consider the provenance of a source in addition to its strengths and weaknesses when making decisions.
Whats included?
A whole 1 hour lesson powerpoint is included (there are teacher notes under most slides). Student worksheets/resources are included in hidden slides in the relevant points of the presentation and also as an additional Powerpoint for ease of printing.
If you enjoyed this lesson, please review and check out my other lessons in this scheme of work on the Tudors
Check out my other history skills lessons on:
Bias, Fact and Opinion
This lesson has been created for KS3 history students and covers the key historical skills of bias, fact and opinion. The purpose of the lesson is to get students to identify and understand bias, fact and opinion and how it can be applied and affect our understanding of history. This resource has been created in Microsoft PPT and all accompanying student worksheets and aids have been included and created also on Microsoft PPT and Microsoft Word.
This resource has been designed to be taught over the course of a one hour lesson and has been designed for the history curriculum, however, the activities are focusing more on skills and applying them rather than historical content so could be applied to other subjects requiring the same skill sets. Activities include keyword match, paired work and peer assessment, biased fictional writing, seek and find fact and opinion activities and a linking activity.
Please check out the teacher notes underneath the powerpoint slides for any additional information/ suggestions. Also some of the slides require you to be in full presenter mode in PPT in order for the animations to work for marking answers/ individual statement activity.
I really hope you enjoy teaching this lesson as much as I do! If you are able to, please review!
