The task comes with a glossary. It finishes with pupils having to come up with their own strategy for destroying the Spanish. Pupils absolutely love doing this task. It is aimed for lower ability Year 8 pupils but I used to give it to all levels of ability before looking at the plans of the Spanish and then the failure of the Armada.

As part of the moderating process I had to send off the History Department's moderated work to the WJEC for KS3. These are the examples of pupils' work that I sent off which showed our moderation of their work which assessed chronology. These were all passed as being very good examples of the different levels of chronology. This resource shows four pieces of work carried out by children based on the question 'How and why have public health measures changed from 1348 to 1911?' We have a Level 4,5,6 and 7. This would be a great resource to share during a departmental meeting. Ask your department to give each piece of work a level based on the level descriptors. This could also be shared with pupils before carrying out another task which assess chronology. An excellent Assessment for Learning technique.
