Pupils needing extra support:

Should focus on making observations and deductions about what the artefacts were used for (i.e. the first three questions on slide 2 of the Presentation: Were the Vikings raiders, traders or settlers?).

Pupils working at greater depth:

Could compare conclusions with each other identifying the bias and suggest the sources of evidence that could be used to create a balanced viewpoint.
