Teaching on site
Teacher and group leader notes for self-guided school visits.
These trails are intended for teachers and adult helpers to use with student groups whilst exploring Henry VIII's apartments.
They give suggestions of things to look for, things to think about and things to imagine. The things to think about are intended to be prompts for discussion - there are no right or wrong answers.
