1066 and the aftermath of conquest - featuring a unique immersive interactive Learning World (free to play!). The Learning World feeds directly into the in class lesson activities and can be used as an ongoing homework project – students can complete the free codex booklet as they go to consolidate learning.
It is a very comprehensive SOW that covers the Norman conquest and its impact on English society. Each and every lesson has been made with enough differentiation, activity variety, cross-curricular support and progress checks that they could be used comfortably ‘out of the box’ in an observation lesson. Care has also been taken to make sure the skills complement each other across the SOW and build up to progress in exam writing ability, source analysis and soft skill development. I’m quite proud of it – if I may say so!
The first two lessons and the Learning World Codex are free to download (some of the slides are not editable in these free versions) but the remaining lessons are for sale and are fully editable.
From my experience it created a huge ‘buzz’ about learning in the classroom and I even had kids in other classes asking to use it. So soon the whole department were using it and at KS3 parent’s evening it was all the parents talked about – many of them had also played through the Learning World.

All lessons also include a settler slide that focuses on numeracy and literacy (don't be concerned if you see lots of typos on the first slide - it's part of the literacy correction task!)

Amazing resource, will use this to start my topic to get some engagement right off the bat!
Certainly a different way of engaging the students!!! Boys especially are excited to do it as a homework task! Funny that? Thanks for the effort in sharing.
Love the Learning World on the website. I've used it at the tail end of last year and the students played it through several times without me asking them to. I have it all set up for the entire department starting this year. Looking forward to the feedback. (the inclusion of medicine and war knowledge is a nice touch - preps my guys for KS4).
I use this as a longer-term homework task when teaching the 1066 SOW to KS3. The kids absolutely love the RPG/gaming nature of the task and learn a tonne of stuff in doing so. Thanks for sharing and hosting this resource on your website. Really great stuff.
