 Imagine 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.

From the end of the 15th century English sailors started on a series of daring and dangerous expeditions to claim new land from which they could import things such as cotton, spices and precious metals. To do this they needed strong navies.

Write a newspaper report or be a news reporter.
The Headlines History site contains real newspapers reports. The idea is that pupils become reporters on these newspapers. They can read and talk about the newspaper stories and then go on to interview up to 30 characters per era (through streaming video playback). These characters have witnessed the events which make up the six front page leads. The pupils then add quotes from these witnesses to the front page story to create their own version that they can then save or print out.
