Let your students have the opportunity to develop their detective skills! This lesson is a murder mystery based on the death of Saint Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170.
Provided with an evidence pack, stuffed full of evidence from eye witnesses, autopsy reports, and private statements from those closest to the main suspects, students will go through the evidence packs and try to work out exactly what happened that led to the vicious murder of Thomas on the altar of Canterbury Cathedral.
This lesson is a fun way to explore the death of Becket and the different motives that played a part in his death. This is ideal for KS3 students in Y7/Y8 as part of the National Curriculum for the development of Church, state and society in Medieval Britain 1066-1509 - struggles between Church and Crown.
