GCSE History Normans Lockdown Lesson 2: Edward the Confessor

Lesson modified for Online learning, taught Feb 2021

Lesson picks up from Lesson 1 which finished with King Canute on the English throne. There is a recap to start with (so you don’t NEED to have taught my lesson 1) and explanation of Edward’s accession to the throne which is consolidated with tasks from the textbook. Lesson then moves onto focus on the relationship between Edward and Godwin. I tend to show part of Historyonics - Hastings at this point but this is quite hard to get hold of since being removed from Youtube and it isn’t vital.

Makes use of the Norman England textbook by Helena Clarke
