This engaging and informative lesson plan explores the pivotal Christian conversion of the Anglo-Saxons, focusing on key figures like St. Augustine and King Æthelberht. Designed for educators teaching 7-11-year-olds, this resource delivers a structured, ready-to-use lesson that encourages creativity and critical thinking through interactive tasks. While it works perfectly as a standalone lesson, it is also Lesson 3 in the Knowledge Nexus Anglo-Saxon unit, seamlessly fitting into a broader exploration of Anglo-Saxon history.

Note: This is the product description for the Lesson Plan only and does not include the PowerPoint or Comic Strip Template, both of which are sold separately, or all together as part of this lesson Bundle.
