3. Timing
I want to aim to complete the first 3 bullet points by half term, and the whole unit by Easter (ambitious, and we may run over) 1st half term = 6 weeks (includes an exam week + a “reading day) 2nd half-term = 5 weeks This allows 12 or 13 lessons per half-term This equates to approx. 4 lessons per bullet point (although some will require more and some less)

4. Look at SHP p 85 Does this image of Henry equate to yours?
But the danger is we rely on hindsight – a less familiar image is to be found in Tillbrook p63
Annotate the John Guy extract to demonstrate contextual knowledge and understanding of it’s content.
Now add to your A3 sheet

5. Continue to work through p 64 – 66 and finish the A3 summary which now gives an introduction to the reign of Henry VIII
You will build upon the legacy of Henry VII and Henry VIII’s accession on the Reading Day – info to follow.
