This is the first of six lessons on the Tudors. The lesson focuses on the NC skills of putting dates and events in chronological order and acquiring knowledge on British monarchy The Tudors are put into a global time frame where they existed in comparison to other historical epochs and then more succinctly into British history and their own time frame The lesson begins by giving children the opportunity to show what they know and ask questions which can be gathered up and put on a history display. Each week they can work on their mind map adding more information as they gather it. There are opportunities for children to work collaboratively on group time lines and then independently on Tudor family trees all of which can be put onto a whole class display board
