1. This activity is the most difficult one. The students are supposed to have some basic knowledge about the situation in Europe in the 1st half of the 16th century.

Tell them to read the text individually and do the exercise in pairs.More advanced students may read it all in one go and start the activity immediately. Pre-intermediate students may need a short summary after each paragraph. The teacher can ask a few questions to make sure the students are able to pick up the key facts.

Language: the students naturally use Simple Past Tense and different ordinal numerals while explaining reasons for their decisions.

2. This activity is the part of the original text and may serve as a short relaxation after the first one. Let the students choose if they want to do it in pairs or individually and then check the answers with their frinds. Most children often enjoy solving a puzzle on their own. Encourage a natural conversation about the different queens´characteristic attributes.

3. This exercise simplifies all the essential facts students have learnt so far. Smart students should be able to fill in the missing words without looking into the text again.

4. Tell students to fill in the numerals and names as quickly as they can and after checking the right answers let them work in pairs or groups of four to prepare an explanation about making ordinal numerals and all their exceptions. The teacher can also write some other ordinal numerals on the blackboard in their mathematical form and tell students to rewrite them in their literal form. Then, there are many alternatives a teacher can choose. It depends on the level of students´ language skills and other circumstances, e.g. tiredness. Students may play the teacher´s role and explain the grammar item for another students´ group or in front of the classrom. They may use only their native language if they do not feel sure in English.

5. This activity may become a homework if there is not much time left at the end of the lesson.

Tell students to work in pairs or groups and think of different real situations when they use ordinal numerals, they may come with e.g. :
- dates, centuries
- date of birth
- notes in a diary
- planning trips, excursions,etc.
- positions in competitions
- the position in class according to the alphabet

Then, he divorced his FIRST wife CATHERINE of ARAGON and married his mistress ANNE BOLEYN. Henry VIII had three children: MARY, ELIZABETH and EDWARD and all of them ruled England for some time. Immediately after Henry´s death his youngest child became the King as EDWARD VI at the age of NINE. His Mother, JANE SEYMOUR, the THIRD wife of Henry VIII could not see him crowned as she died shortly after his birth. Henry VIII had another THREE wives which is one of the most famous things he is known for. However, the most important fact is that he started the CHURCH of ENGLAND in 1533.
