The Domesday Book - KS3 History

Explores the Domesday Book - what it was and why it was created. After a quick starter to get the students thinking and a brief video, they move onto the main task. This involves carrying out their own Domesday survey based on five villages detailled in the information document. These can be stuck around the classroom for the students to move around or you could adapt it if you do not wish to deliver it this way. There are two versions of the survey sheet, one is slightly easier to complete to aid with differentiation. I have also included a completed copy for the teacher so that you can go through the answers. The lesson ends with a written task to bring it all together. I always find this to be a fun and engaging lesson. Enjoy!
