thanks
Omar Khaled

Please use your text-book and the work you have , for now. On Sunday we will sort everything out so don't worry. All the other sheets can then be returned to you.
As I said please don't worry.

Mr Bennett

But mr bennett the war of roses and henry vii are in the book of year 7 .................so from where can we study it.....will i study the sources in parliament and people ?
abdelrahman

You do not need a detailed knowledge of the Wars of the Roses. All you really need to know is
1) The names of the 2 families
2) The fact that Henry Tudor replaced Richard III as King after the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.

Your textbook will be fine, don't worry,guys! Remember i am testing your skills more than your factual knowledge!

Mr Bennett

Hi mr Bennet,
I want to ask weather I study the sources from crown and pairlament book and also study who said these sources and when and also study weather they are primary or seconday or not.
Please mr reply as quickly as possible and also mr please tell me weather we will study from SHP book or not.

Best wishes,
Ahmed Ismail

I shall not be testing your memory of all the sources. As long as you have a basic understanding of the terms you shall do very well. There will be a source question but all the information needed will be on the paper. We must move away from learning everything by rote and move towards a better understanding of the period through the skills we have learnt.

Use both of your text books for a good understanding of the period. Also look at schoolhistory.co.uk for good links/ideas.

dear mr bennett ,
we don t have the star or monster sheet please reply because we want to study

Mr bennet
will we study the souces in parliament and people book ??
abdelrahman

All outstanding sheets to be returned on Sunday.
Don't worry,Abdul Rahman about all the details of the sources. As i said earlier I AM TESTING YOUR SKILLS.

Mr Bennett

Mr bennet
i mean should we study the names and dates of the sources ?
answer me plzz
abdelrahman

Hello

For Abdul Rahman and anybody else. You do not need to know the names and dates of the sources in the book. As I have said many times, I am testing your skills and not your ability to remember every single detail!

Hi mr bennett,
Can you tell me again please what are the primary and the secondary sources and also what are the differences between them
Thanks for your great effort with us,
Ahmed Ismail

A Primary Source is a piece of evidence taken from the time of the event. A Secondary Source is a piece of evidence from after the event.

Regards

Mr Bennett
