Stretch and Challenge: Wider Reading
This page is dedicated to Wider Reading an essential part of studying history. As Wars of the Roses is a depth study many of the materials are in a lot more detail than we covered in class. Some of the materials are chapters from Historians' books, these are more challenging to read but if you read about topics we have already studied you will be able to use them effectively. They will give you a better understanding of the course and give you the level of detail needed to get the high grades in a depth study.
Think about how you will use the resources - do you need to note down every detail? No - in lesson you have a lot of the facts you need, just add down some that you find interesting. These can help develop your understanding of key concepts, develop your arguments, extend your thinking on topics. You may just note down key ideas, arguments, or questions to think about.
