Support Sheets for KS3 History: The Tudors & The Stuarts

The Tudors & the Stuarts Support Sheets are a series of photocopiable worksheets which support the teaching of History from the end of the Middle Ages to the reigns of William and Mary. The series covers most of the course 'The Making of the United Kingdom', as studied by Key Stage 3 pupils for the National Curriculum.

Although the sheets are simply worded, the whole course is covered in some detail. The Tudors & the Stuarts Support Sheets enable the students to have access to all relevant information in an easily accessible, yet attractively presented form.

The basic format of the sheets is to use cloze-type passages. The initial letter of each missing word is supplied, and the correct number of spaces is left for the letters. This enables even the weakest reader to succeed in completing the exercise. Each page has clear illustrations that can be coloured, copied or completed. Other activities include matching up jumbled sentences, and labeling exercises.

The support sheets are produced with decorative borders, in a hand-written format. This gives the pupils the feeling that the work has been specially drawn for them, giving a personal touch. The pupils will enjoy the often humorous, and sometimes slightly gruesome nature of the sheets.

The topics in each series include:

• Life in the 1 500's
• Henry VIII and the church
• Edward VI
• Mary I
• Elizabeth I
• The Elizabethans

• James I
• Charles I
• Civil War
• Britain with no King
• The Pilgrim Fathers
• Restoration England
• The Glorious Revolution
