KS3 Intro to Crime & Punishment (Medieval England)

This is an 8 lesson unit designed to introduce KS3 students to crime and punishment in medieval England.
The unit begins by introducing students to important contextual knowledge about the era. We first consider the tribes who invaded Britain after the fall of the Roman empire and consider how Britain fell into the dark ages. It then goes on to look at the power of the Catholic church. All of this knowledge will be important as we go through.
The unit then looks at the justice systems in Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Norman and Late Middle Age England. The lessons include differentiation for EAL, SEN & most able. Students are required to compare, contrast and evaluate throughout the unit. It is good for any KS3 students but will be particularly helpful for those schools who teach crime and punishment through time at GCSE.
