Building at Beaumaris
The activity sheets BUILD1 and BUILD2 allow students to examine a document
from 1296 and establish some of the problems that James St. George had in
meeting the tight building schedule demanded by Edward I. Students are
asked to use their interpretation of this evidence to derive certain
conclusions.
Spreadsheet Task
The final question encourages students to use a spreadsheet to work out
wages from information in the document. The spreadsheet file WAGES is
provided in Key Calc format. For schools not using Key Calc, two other files
are provided. WAGES.CSV, if dropped onto cell A1 of an open spreadsheet,
should put the correct text into the correct cells. Unfortunately, formulas
cannot be held in this way and need to be entered by the teacher. These,
together with an illustration of the spreadsheet, are held in the activity
sheet SSTEMP. You may need to substitute some characters in the formulas
depending on which spreadsheet you are using. For example, some spreadsheets
use ";" or ":" instead of "," between cell references in formulas. If things
don't work, check your software manual for the right syntax.
