We spent the afternoon exploring bias in historical sources. This is when a piece of evidence from the past has been influenced by opinion and not fact. This means it is unbalanced. We read four descriptions of William Wallace and had to identify whether or not they contained bias. We then had to decide who might have written them…

Next, we worked in groups to create a life-sized Wallace based on the biased historical accounts…it was challenging because he was probably over 6ft tall!

Now we will have Wallace figures to go with our Wallace swords. Watch this space!
