    My Tudor Paragraph:
    The Tudor Monarch ruled England from 1485-1603.It all started with the first Tudor king Henry VII. Henry fought with King Richard III (current king of England) and won the battle. This battle was called the Battle of Bosworth. When King Henry died 1509 his cruel and wicked son took over carrying the Tudor Monarch. Because Henry VII loved his name so much he decided to call his son Henry VII! Henry VII was a selfish but powerful king and always got what he wanted and if he didn’t CHOP! you would be beheaded and you would never want to mess with another Tudor Monarch AGAIN!

    1. Mrs Diaz

      Bolu, remember punctuation such as commas, full stops. It is hard to follow and it all flows into one at the beginning of your introduction. Make sure you read over your work please, does it make sense, can you spot spelling mistakes? I can see you have used some fronted adverbials, facts and past tense, which is good. Read over your introduction and see if you have included all of the features and the 5 WS. Super effort Bolu.

      1. Boluwatife I.

    The Tudors
    The Tudor period occurred in 1485 to 1603. The Tudors were a
    Welsh – English family of powerful,monarchs who lived in England. The Tudor era started because Henry Tudor (Henry VII) fought for the crown in the battle of Bosworth and the period was named after his name ‘Tudor’. Some famous kings and queens in those times were Henry VII,Henry VII,Mary I and Elizabeth I. Also,normal people in Tudor times lived in villages and farms but if you were wealthy enough you lived in towns like Bristol,Norwich or London.
    And,that,is what the Tudor period was like.

    1. Mrs Diaz

      Well done Hamaad, could you edit your introduction? Add fronted adverbials at the beginning of sentences, use powerful adverbs, have you used all of the 5 WS, add more facts?

    1. Miss Phillpotts

      I think you have rushed this task. Have another look at the example and read your text again:
      1) Does it all make sense?
      2) Is there any punctuation missing?
      3)Is all of your information accurate?

      For example ‘The Tudor was a name for kings an queens if the ruled there country in 1457 to 1509’
      ‘Tudor’ is the name for the family of kings and queens that ruled their country from 1485 to 1603.
