7 KS3 History 01: Introductory unit - what's it all about? Peer Assessment and Expert Answer Expert Teacher Answer What is History all about and what do Historians do? History is the study of the past. Historians find out all sorts of information that they then sort out to provide us with a picture of what life was like tens, hundreds or even thousands of years ago. The first thing that historians have to to do is to divide time and to place the events they are looking at into historical context. Historians use lots of different ways to divide time - from years, decades and centuries to eras - like the Tudor Period, or the Middle Ages. They must be careful to ensure that they put the correct person or artefact into the correct era- or else they will make the mistake of anachronism. Timelines are a useful way for historians to display events. Historians are like detectives. They investigate hundreds of sources looking for facts. They compare sources with what they already know and can then build up a picture of events. They ask vital questions such as why did something happen, when did it occur and what were the results? In order to find out this information the historian uses sources. Sources can be primary or secondary. Primary sources come from the period the historian is investigating whilst secondary sources generally come from a later period- for example a text book written about Henry VIII in Sources can be anything - from books and documents to buildings or even remains of food found by archaeologists. All of these things provide the historian with information. They analyse these sources asking questions in order to find the facts they require. They must be careful to spot biased documents- this is where the author has a prejudiced view - and it can lead to evidence being less than clearly presented!

Then the Statute of Labourers 1351 was passed to stop the peasants taking advantage of the shortage of workers and demanding more money.

27 KS3 History 05: Elizabeth I how successfully did she tackle the problems of her reign? Peer Assessment and Expert Answer Expert Teacher Answer How well did Elizabeth I cope with the problems of her reign? When Elizabeth became queen, the country was split by religious arguments. She invented a middle way in an attempt to bridge the gap between Catholics and Protestants. She did have some success in this, but England was still a divided country when Elizabeth died. Catholics may never have forgiven Elizabeth for her decision to have Mary Queen of Scots executed. While it is believed that Elizabeth made this decision reluctantly, it is also true that she had no intention of allowing a Catholic to rule England. Elizabeth was very successful in re-establishing England as the strongest country in the world. The Spanish Armada was feared around Europe, but Elizabeth's navy left the Armada completely defeated by sending fireships into the tightly packed Spanish ships. Elizabeth also faced the problem of being probably the most powerful woman in the history of England. She once said that she had 'the body of a weak and feeble woman', but she was also much braver and intelligent than most of the Kings who had ruled before her, including her father Henry VIII. We can see evidence of Elizabeth's bravery and independence in the fact that, despite pressure from all sides, she never got married. She thought she was capable of ruling without a man's help, and she proved that this was correct. Elizabeth dealt skilfully and bravely with all of the problems of her reign and, in many ways, had a very successful reign.

32 KS3 History 06: What were the achievements of the Islamic states ? Peer Assessment and Expert Answer In what ways were the Islamic states so successful in the period ? Expert Teacher Answer After the beginning of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad was followed by 4 great Caliphs - under whom the extent of their empire grew quickly. It quickly expanded through the Middle East especially under Umar - who was a great warrior and just leader. However as Muslim influence expanded there were a number of different groups within Islam that vied for power and in the 760s a great new Islamic city was built in Baghdad, a city which grew rich on trade etc. This city rivalled Mecca in many ways. Apart from its great armies that invaded Europe and destroyed the old Roman Empire, Islam became a focal point for medieval discoveries in Science and Mathematics. Many Arab mathematicians invented different strands of maths - includinding algebra and trigonometry. Even the number Zero can be attributed to Islamic mathematicians. In science many Arab scientists produced new inventions- including the first watch, the pendulum, the telescope and perhaps even photography. Books on human and animal anatomy were produced and in geographical terms - the first map of the world. Arab discoveries then covered many fields and contributed much to the development of the world. Islamic architecture also offered much beauty with its decorative buildings and vast mosques. Between the 11th and 13th centuries many Christians tried to take back their holy city of Jerusalem which had fallen under Muslim control. These battles were known as the Crusades- and were fierce contests. Muslim armies won many battles and their leaders proved to be worthy warriors. Medical science improved as a result of these wars also. By the 16th century the Ottomans had taken control of the Muslim empire and it stretched from Saudi Arabia across Europe and into Africa. The achievements of the Islamic states in many fields were vast- and their power held firm for many more years.

37 KS3 History 07: Images of an age what can we learn from portraits ? Peer Assessment and Expert Answer Expert Teacher Answer Why were portraits so important in Tudor times? We must remember that in Tudor times there were no photographs or television, and the only time people got to see their king or queen was through a portrait. For this reason, kings and queens were very keen that they should be painted in a positive light. Henry VIII was always keen that his many faults were not known by the public. As he got older there were rumours that he had got very fat, and he was also very greedy and wasteful with money. To counter these rumours, Henry would have himself painted looking very thoughtful or attractive. His daughter Elizabeth I also knew the importance of portraits. Many people doubted her because she was a woman, and even more so when she refused to get married, but she would have portraits painted of her with many meaningful symbols. For example, the famous rainbow portrait shows her with a snake (representing wisdom) and a rainbow (representing peace). Tudor monarchs also knew how to use portraits to make their enemies look bad. Henry VII argued with Richard III over who should be king, so he used portraits to make Richard look like he had a hunched back and an ugly face. People at that time would not want somebody with physical deformities to be king. Henry VII also spread rumours that Richard III had killed his two nephews in the Tower of London. Modern historians have shown that this is probably not true. Henry VIII had beautiful paintings of his wives painted, but when he grew tired of them he had very unattractive pictures painted to make his wives less popular. He would then be able to divorce them. He himself was tricked by a portrait, however, when he fell in love with Anne of Cleves after seeing a very flattering painting of her. When she arrived, he found she was very ugly and the marriage only lasted a very short time! Portraits do not tell us everything about the time, but they are very useful in showing us how each of the Tudor monarchs wanted to be perceived by the people of England.
