Norman England - education

This resource was created for use in the AQA GCSE unit on ‘Norman England, 1066-c.1100’, although it could be used for other exam board units on Norman England.

There is an expectation that students will have read - or should read while completing the tasks - about education in Norman England, from a text book. However, it would be perfectly possible for them to make some inferences from existing knowledge about Norman England in order to complete the card sort.

There are three ‘stages’ to the card sort, which are set out in the PPT: (1) sort into true and false; (2) identify the three key points (which can then be shown on the PPT); (3) to arrange the rest of the cards under the key statements.

There is a filled ‘teacher’ version, which has some additional information that could be included. This could be given to students rather than them writing everything out, or simply kept as a crib sheet.
