Teaching Resources

Tudor websites and resources

ButtonImagine what it was like to be a member of the crew
The Oxfordshire ICT Team have created a lesson plan with resources. Pupils have the opportunity, with the help of a carefully selected website, to imagine that they are a member of the crew of a Tudor ship. Their task is to complete "Callouts" in Word (a really motivating task particular for those who find it hard to write extended text) about their chosen member of crew. The teacher is guided through the task with ready prepared questions, prompts and pupil materials.
