Curiosity - What do we want to know?

During our first lesson, we shared our prior knowledge and generated questions based on what we want to find out.

Tudor London

We used an amazing overlay map on Google Maps where we could compare modern and Tudor London.  Scan the QR codes below to see some of our work and what we found out.

Who was Henry VIII? - Using sources

We looked at a wide range of sources about Henry VIII, analysing what they told us about his appearance and his character.
We also discussed the reliability of each source.

The Tudor Family Tree

We have used used our knowledge to piece together some parts of the Tudor family tree (which is complicated as most had more than one spouse).

When we got to the trickier parts, we searched for answers using the internet.
