4. The Tudors
Your first lesson of the week will be the Tudors, whilst the second lesson will be America and the third will alternate between the two (Eg. This week we will be doing two lessons on the Tudors). Try to remember the correct folder for the correct lesson!
This is a THEMATIC paper and covers a LARGE period, making it a BREATH study too.
This paper is requiring you to look at a large period of Tudor history at any given time and your questions will focus around one of the six below:
How effectively did the Tudors restore and develop the powers of the monarchy?
In what ways and how effectively was England governed during this period?
3. How far did intellectual and religious ideas change and develop and with what effects?
How did relations with foreign powers change and how was the succession secured?
5. How did English society and economy change and with what effects?
6. How important was the role of key individuals and groups and how were they affected by developments?
Anyone not completed

5. Paperwork!
In time you will be given a History planner and a sheet that gives an overview of the Tudor topic.
The History planner is a way for you to track you progress and also record what you need to work on. It will allow you to find this information easily and therefore should be filled in thoroughly when required and brought with you every lesson.
The overview sheet should be put at the front of your folder and will allow you to see what you are doing well and what you need to improve on. You should also refer to this if you miss any lessons. 5

Anything that represents a CHANGE should be recorded in a different colour.

13. TASK:
1. You need to create a brief fact file on The War of the Roses and its causes. It can be presented however you like, but must include the following information:
Explained what caused the war including bastard feudalism and issues with the monarchy (you might even want to look at this section in the form of a timeline). You should try and pull out any other issues too.
Explain what The War of the Roses was, who fought against who, when did it happen and a brief summary/diagram of the battle of Bosworth (refer back to the start of the Winter King documentary). Try not to get bogged down in the minor details!
2. To help with some of the explanation next lesson you should also print off a copy of the family tree from Edward III to Henry VII. (If you type in ‘Henry VII’s claim to the throne’ and click on images).
FLIP LEARNING
At the end of each lesson (and for both Tudor and America lessons) you will be expected to complete some independent work. This will be VITAL in terms of providing the foundations for what we will be looking at next lesson or in some cases consolidating the work you have already done.
The work opposite will need to completed for your next lesson… which is towards the end of this week!
Need to explain how we have 2 Tudor lessons one week and 2 America ones the week after.
