  aimed at younger students and therefore you may
  need to carefully select what you chose to put in
  your book the language you use must be
  understood by younger students.

• 2. Produce a written commentary to go with your
  Childrens book to explain why you have designed
  it the way you have.
• This should be at least 1 side of A4. The aim of
  this commentary is for you to explain why you
  have chosen to include what you have and why you
  have left out other factors. This should include
  an explanation of your books title. It is also
  important that in your commentary you give your
  opinion on how best Cromwell should be
  remembered. Was he a hero, a villain, a ruthless
  leader, a loving father? Is it that simple?
