This lesson is designed as an introduction to a KS3 module called ‘Invaders and Settlers AD43 - 1066’ and provides a quick overview of the impact of the Roman invasion of Britain. However, many of the tasks and activities are also suitable for primary students in KS2 . If you are looking from a KS3 perspective, this lesson sets out the broad context of the Roman invasion and in particular focuses on trade and the growth of towns. This theme is returned to in the other modules which can be downloaded either separately or as a bundle on the Saxons and Vikings links to latter lessons at KS3 on medieval towns and industustrialisation 1750 - 1900.
