This history lesson builds on well from The Ambassadors and the Tudor Portrait Mystery Exercises. Students consider the tools used by artists to represent different policies, emotions and personality traits in individuals, using the famous “Armada Portrait” as a starting point. They then use what they have learned to produce their own colourful “Royal Portrait” of themselves, which can then be used for display purposes.

A decision-making exercise: Would you have taken the same decisions as de Montfort?

This interactive quiz generator allows you to create interactive “Dustbin” games.

Students or teachers can create up to four categories of factors. The game created by ClassTools.net then involves students dragging and dropping each factor into its correct category as quickly as possible in a “race against the clock”!

This brand new section of the website has now been launched.

Students watch the events unfold through a series of “news feeds” in this interactive history exercise and should then be asked to write a biased newspaper report about the event from either a Catholic or a Cathar perspective.
