Here is the essay Jade typed up on Robert Bruce. I have added a little to it to develop some points a bit more (I've put this in red). We decided to answer this question using three themes; Bruce's leadership, political success and military success. Your task is to write a conclusion to this essay, summing up and highlighting the most important points.

Here is the link to the Battle of Bannockburn Presentation Task you constructed and Brian typed up. If you think of any other points to add to the task sheet, e-mail them to me. Remember, if you find a good website, e-mail the address to me and I will add them to the Presentation Task sheet.

You will also find the Battle of Falkirk powerpoint for you to use if you're making a powerpoint.
