A well presented lesson on the Mystery of the Princes in the tower created for KS3 history students on Microsoft Powerpoint A little about the lesson Using primary and secondary source evidence, students work in pairs to investigate the mystery of the 2 princes in the tower using sources to decide who was the most likely murderer of the boys/ who had the most to gain from their disappearance. Or even if the boys were murdered at all?! This is a good introduction to the Tudors and learning about the character of Henry VII and the problems the Tudors faced with security to their throne. Alternatively, this is a more challenging lesson for students to practice their historical skills of source evidence on for a skills based lesson as students are guided to consider the provenance of a source in addition to its strengths and weaknesses when making decisions. Whats included? A whole 1 hour lesson powerpoint is included (there are teacher notes under most slides). Student worksheets/resources are included in hidden slides in the relevant points of the presentation and also as an additional Powerpoint for ease of printing.
