This is the first two lessons (2 hours) of the enquiry: ‘Who were the English (before 1066)’?
The enquiry focuses on the skill historical evidence. Overall, students will refer to five pieces of evidence (Roman skeletons discovered at Aballava fort, Sutton Hoo helmet, Bede’s account of Hadrian and Theodore, the Viking Domesday Stone, and a coin from the reign of King Æthelstan) in order to answer the enquiry question.
It revolves around the students investigating the mystery of two skeletons by drip-feeding them numerous pieces of evidence. The resources on the PowerPoint are hopefully self-explanatory in terms of how to deliver it to students.
The lesson sequence for this enquiry is as follows:
- Roman Skeleton Mystery (2 lessons).
- Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms and Sutton Hoo (2 lessons).
- The Spread of Christianity in England.
- Viking Raid on Lindisfarne.
- Æthelstan, King of the English
- Review lesson: Who were the English (before 1066)?
