Who is your favourite monarch? Why? Do you
know what they did? If you were King or Queen what would you do?
Pick a building that the Professor showed you during the tour. How long has that building been there?
Who has visited the building?
Why not draw a picture of the building as it looks now and then another picture of how the building might look in 100 years?
What differences might there be?
Try writing a short story from the point of view of the building, saying what it has seen over the years and what it thinks about its location?
Imagine what it would be like if the Professor took you on a journey 100 years into the future.
What would happen to
history after that?
