Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Could have slide 2 of the Presentation: Tudor apprentices on display as they write their four questions in the Main event; should use Activity: Hot seat questions: support version to help structure their questions.
Pupils working at greater depth
Could identify the key things children want to know about working conditions and research a job to answer these questions; could be put in the hot seat as a character, using their research; could hold their own version of the television show ‘The Apprentice’ with a Tudor twist: ‘The Tudor Apprentice’ and write job descriptions for a Tudor apprentice. Then, conduct a mock interview for the apprentice in pairs.
