KS3 Medieval - Why Did the Barons Revolt Against King John?

This lesson contains:

• A ‘do now’ starter which can be edited to fit whatever you taught previously.
• An overview of john’s birth and position within the family tree, with a comparison between perceptions of him and his brother Richard, using sources which can be discussed or annotated.
• An on-board walkthrough of John’s problems as king, including a Guernsey link.
• A task to study the information on John’s reign. Students weigh up the good and bad things he did against the criteria of what a good king must do, with a potential to do extended writing at the end.
