Folks, I'm sorry but I couldn't get the introduction you created today on the webpage from school and I have forgotten to send it to my home, so I won't be able to put it on until tomorrow night. Do as much of the essay as possible and leave the intro until tomorrow. Sorry!

Battle of Bannockburn Presentation Task

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.

Do your best in this piece of homework and hopefully we will have some videos, powerpoints and podcasts to put onto the site.
