Expectations

At the end of this unit

most children will: know and understand the reasons for, and events of, exploration in the Tudor period; use a range of sources to reconstruct aspects of the life of sailors and settlers; compare and contrast aspects of exploration in the Tudor period with today

some children will not have made so much progress and will: recognise some of the reasons for exploration and be aware of the achievements of named individuals; extract information from a small number of sources; recognise some of the similarities between exploration in Tudor times and today

some children will have progressed further and will: describe reasons for, and outcomes of, particular voyages of exploration and attempts at settlement; use their knowledge and understanding of Tudor exploration and settlement to make connections with other societies and periods; select and combine information from a range of sources to undertake enquiries and reach supported conclusions about the motivations and results of Tudor exploration
