The Black Death and Peasants Revolt

Using the new Pearson ‘Exploring History: Monarchs, Monks and Migrants’ textbook, I have created 16 lessons on The Black Death and the Peasants Revolt suitable for KS3 History students. Lessons include:

1. Was 1348 the end of the world?
2. What were the causes, symptoms and responses to The Black Death?
3. How terrible was The Black Death?
4. What have we learnt so far? (Recap and extended writing lesson)
5. What were the effects of the Black Death?
6. How and why did the peasants revolt?
7. What were the consequences of the peasants revolt?
8. What have we learnt so far? (Recap and extended writing lesson)

I have designed them so they stretch over 2 lessons and each one begins with an opportunity for recap and recall questions (making the learning stick!) There are also 2 opportunities for students to engage and undertake extended writing throughout the SoW.
