KS3 Medieval - What Was Life Like in Towns?

This lesson contains:

• A starter based on medieval life but this can be edited to test the recall of whatever your students have been studying.
• A video to introduce what towns may have been like in Medieval England.
• A series of slides which you can talk through with students to introduce towns - they can create a mind map of the main features of medieval towns. This covers, with images, where they were built, how they were planned, town charters, guilds, roles of mayors and councils and some of the jobs people did.
• A main task to study 5 key sources in a large table. Students are guided with questions to extract the main things they can learn about towns from these sources. The questions should elicit the main learning from them. They then write this in the table.
• A plenary to compare towns and villages.
