I am always happy to hear from teachers of other subjects and how they can make use of these activities.
Thank you for your comment
Jamie :-)

In my country (Romania) we have history classes for the 4th grade students
(age 9/10) so I developed a little role-play game based on this lesson, and we use it to review several history lessons in the class. Course, we use our native tongue to do that.
Thanks!
Emese (primary school teacher)

I used this activity 2 days ago. I’m with a group of teachers from China and they were going to visit Norwich castle. I set up the trip with this activity (a few changes made):

* Situation: A visitor looking around Norwich castle.
* Age: 900 years and 3 weeks old

Here are the questions they came up with:

* How did it survive the war?
* What was it used for?
* Do you have any anecdotes about the castle?
* Are there any legends associated with the castle?
* Are there any valuable antiques or artefacts here?
* Who built and when?
* How high is it?
* Was it ever restored or reconstructed?

They got a guided tour but the guide spoke a bit too fast and they all thought that it was their fault that they didn’t understand him!

Jamie :)

The lesson plan you devised fits like a glove a CLIL course I’m teaching, and I know quite little about sculpture, so it’s always good to have input from talented colleagues. Great use of images to prompt language and interaction. Will be on the lookout for your resources from now on, and as soon as your book arrives in Uruguay, South America, I’ll be buying it.
