A follow up to my resource looking at the causes of the Glyndwr rebellion. This resource looks at the famous Glyndwr victory over Edmund Mortimer at the Battle of Bryn Glas (Pilleth) on June 22nd, 1402. The resources encourage pupils to categorise factors, and then use their knowledge to do some extended writing (PEEL task) on the key question. The PEEL sheet will aid pupils to attain L5, whilst follow up tasks can help them to access L6+. There is also an extended numeracy task for higher ability pupils. Enjoy.
