I have designed a series of four lessons for Year 7 History students on Medieval Life, using “The Canterbury Tales” to explore this period.
This resource includes Lessons 2 to 4. Lesson 1 is available as a free download. Please download the free lesson first to see if this series fits your needs.
Lesson 2: Knight and Squire
Lesson 3: Prioress
Lesson 4: Monk and Friar
The resource pack includes a comprehensive booklet covering all four lessons and a PowerPoint presentation for each lesson.
Canterbury Tales as a focal point to explore 14th-century life. The first lesson introduces the concept, and the subsequent lessons delve into different characters from the story, such as knights and monks, to learn about their roles in society. Each lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation. There is a booklet that has eight lessons worth of tasks, following each PowerPoint lesson.
Lesson one, along with the first part of the booklet, is available for free.
I have created two lessons focused on the Yugoslav Wars, tailored for a Year 9 class with challenging readings and activities. Each lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation, an information sheet, and a color-coded activity, all provided free of charge.
