Year 8A & Year 8B
Today you are going to start watching “The Prince & the Pauper”, a film set in Reformation England….
Follow the order in which I give you instructions:

INTRODUCTION:
The Prince and the Pauper is a novel by American author Mark Twain. It was first published in 1881 in Canada, before its 1882 publication in the United States. It was Twain’s first attempt at historical fiction. Set in 1547, it tells the story of two young boys who were born on the same day and are identical in appearance: Tom Canty, a pauper (poor person) who lives with his abusive, alcoholic father in Offal Court off Pudding Lane in London, and Edward VI of England, son of Henry VIII.
