Anglo-Saxons #02: Social Hierarchy & Village Life (Lesson Plan)

Delve into the social hierarchy and daily life of Anglo-Saxon villages with this interactive and engaging lesson plan, the second in our Anglo-Saxons series. Designed for ages 7-11, this resource brings history to life, encouraging students to explore the roles and structures within an Anglo-Saxon village through hands-on activities. This lesson works perfectly as a standalone resource or as part of the broader Knowledge Nexus Anglo-Saxon Topic.
