The Peasants Revolt: What Was the Peasants Revolt?

Key Stage 3 History lesson which is at least two hour-long lessons. We start with a photo interpretation starter “Why is Simon’s Head in the Wall?”. The pupils try to deduce what happened to Simon of Sudbury. We then go onto to watch a video clip on the Peasants Revolt. The pupils have a crib sheet to fill in as the video plays. We then look at the events of the peasants revolt where the pupils complete an activity that involves summarising events and drawing symbols and diagrams. using the information the pupils have gained they then design a movie poster for a film about the Peasants Revolt where the pupils can show their knowledge and be creative!
