3. Equipment and expectations checklist
A key element to being successful (not only in History but your other subjects too) is being ORGANISED. As you now have more independence compared to what you had at school, you need to be more in control of your time and your work.
Each lesson you should try to remember the following:
Folder (there is a chance you will need to reflect on the work of previous lessons and you need to keep your work in an organised way)
Plastic wallets and dividers for your folder
Flip learning work
Pen and paper
Green pen
highlighters
TIPS for success:
Treat Monday to Friday as a 9-4 job. Keep your frees as time where you complete your work so that you have less to do at home.
Do your flip learning work sooner rather than later so that you have time to ask questions/get clarification before its too late
Use the BLOG
We all teach the same and so ask any of us for advise or help
Please talk to us if you are struggling or need help in any way.

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?

You will need to refer to this information throughout the year and therefore should be filled in thoroughly when required and brought with you every lesson. 6

10. What was England like in 1485?
Before we progress, we are gong to check your understanding of the type of place England was and what was important to the people of England at this time.
TASK:
Swap your mind map with the person next to you and add any extra information you might have missed in green pen
Write a summary (no more than 20 words) that describes what society was like at this time
Discuss in your pairs the answer to the following questions :
- What was the biggest problem people faced and why?
Overall, do the positives outweigh the negatives during this time?
FLIP LEARNING TASK:
You were asked to look at a range of information and create a mind map on the different elements of English society.
Anything that represents a CHANGE should be recorded in a different colour.
Highlight anything you think might have been a problem and explain why you think it was

12. 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 must 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 you should find the family tree).
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!
