In brief the lesson involves analyzing five historical sources about Henry II, completing a summary table about we can learn from about his personality and then drawing and annotating a picture to help students apply what they have inferred from the evidence This can then be followed up with some more traditional style questions to help consolidate the learning.

This great resource makes a really effective classroom display to help students structure their answers using PEE or PEEL. It looks great laminated in either A4 or A3. When you your purchase this resource you will be able to download an eight page word document with the letters PEEL and a matching pupil speak explanation to be displayed alongside the relevant letter either alongside or below. Overtime, I train all my students to at whatever level to use PEEL, its a great tool for improving literacy as well as their grades. Once you’ve embedded it you can also get them to peer and self assess their work by writing Point, Example, Explain and Link in the margin of their exercise books. The majority of my written feedback also uses the key words in PEEL. Please see the preview for more information.
