The aim of this lesson is to understand why Britain was such a good place to invade.

Students are given a thinking quilt to link words and meanings together and challenge their reasoning skills.

Further information will help them understand what Britain had to offer to invaders giving context to its cities, markets and population as well as natural resources and weather.

Students are then required to justify why England was a good place to invade in 1066, with prompts and help given if required.

The resource is differentiated and gives suggested teaching strategies.

It comes in PowerPoint format which can be amended and changed to suit.
