Homework help!

Hello everyone.

Here's a quick reminder of half term's homework challenge, plus some places you could find some information.

Your project this half term is to research about one of the Tudor monarchs: Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I or Elizabeth I.

Amongst other facts, you could find out the following information:
-       When were they were born?
-       Where were they were born?
-       Who were their parents?
-       How old were they when they came to the throne?
-       Did they have any children?
-       What kind of monarch were they? Strong? Weak? Popular? Unpopular?
-       What was the country like under their rule?


Present the information however you like and be prepared to share your learning with the rest of the class. Use pictures, maps, diagrams, photos or anything else you can think of to make it well-presented.

These websites may be useful:

- Woodlands website, clearly written;
- Historic Palaces, lots about Henry VIII;
- The Tudors, tells you about life in England at the time;
- superbrainybeans, links to other websites with some games;
- National Geographic, some general information about the Tudors.

Good luck and remember to ask me any questions if you get stuck. I will try to reply as soon as I can!
