KS2 History, D&T and English lesson plan – Design, develop and market a Tudor property

Bring the homes of the past to life in an engaging and practical way, says Adam Newman…

The property market might not be booming but it can be in your classroom as you go through the Tudor keyhole. Bring the Tudor street to life as you discover, design, advertise and sell your very own piece of Tudor real estate.

This project provides an engaging and practical way to mix a study of life in the past with some persuasive writing, drama and even some TV work. So prepare to teach a whole class of Tudor property developers.

What they’ll learn

• About Tudor homes and comparisons between the rich and the poor
• How to evaluate existing designs and devise success criteria
• How to design and make procedures
• How to write to persuade an audience
• How to use intonation and to present the spoken word
