- 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. WAGESCSV, 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.
