=Year 8 Cover Lessons for Mr. Tarr, May 2008=

Tuesday 20th May
a. Complete the worksheet from last lesson on Queen Mary. You will see that the final page (Task 3) wants you to consider what you think about Hollywood films about History. Fill in the middle column in detail. Do not worry about the "Class Vote" final column.

b. Following on from the Royal Portrait work we did last week, complete [|this worksheet] by doing [|this ActiveHistory Investigation] about a famous painting from the time of King Henry VIII.

Friday 23rd May
Following on from the Royal Portrait work we did last week, make a start on [|yr8_Royal_Portraits.doc]. Do it thoroughly - you will have plenty of time next lesson too to do a good job.

Tuesday 27th May
I have marked your Henry VIII stories: generally really nice work, well done - particular congratulations to Laura and to Nathan, who earned themselves a commendation each for their excellent work. Be sure to remind me when I get back from paternity leave to sign your planners (others among you have earned merits and double merits).

Task for today: Complete the work on Royal Portraits you started last week. You can produce your Royal Portrait on paper, or using an image editing application of your choice. Whichever you choose, remember that you CANNOT INCLUDE ANY WORDS.

Friday 30th May
Exchange your Royal Portrait with a partner. Now complete the final task of the worksheet ([|yr8_Royal_Portraits.doc]) - ie an analysis of what you think the message of the portrait is. Use pritt-stick to attach this to the edge of the portrait. Hand the portrait, with the analysis attached, to the cover teacher - NOTE: Please make sure that both the portrait, and the analysis, are named so that Mr. Tarr can see who did the work.

Use any remaining time for history revision. Play any of the Fling the Teacher games etc on ActiveHistory.
