Anglo-Saxon & Viking Britain: Timeline activity
WiseArkResourcesWiseArkResources

Anglo-Saxon & Viking Britain: Timeline activity

(0)
A simple sequencing activity to help develop chronological knowledge of the Anglo-Saxon/Viking period in English history. There is a list of 24 events with dates -but events are listed alphabetically- and a blank table to enter the information into. So students need to sequence the dates first (there is a sheet/table to help them with doing this). There is also a support version in which the table to complete has the dates in order so students just need to find the corresponding event. The events are mostly those which feature in the linked resources on developing chronological understanding including the power point-from 449 CE -the traditional date for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in England-to 1066 CE and the end of Anglo-Saxon England following the Norman invasion and victory at Hastings. This resource is suitable for use in class as well as ideal for homework / independent study.
