Medieval church game

(4)
From a SOW I'm currently writing about Henry II and Becket. This board game is about the medieval church. A priest, a noble and a peasant have to get to heaven. Journey by way of church courts and indulgences, to set the scene for the specific church privilege which caused conflict between Henry II and Becket and also the indulgences issue which is a long-term link to a planned future unit on the reformation.

Effective A Level Discussions

This is an outline of a lesson structure I use all the time to create more lesson time for developing understanding, rather than knowledge transmission, and to encourage students to become more independent in their arguments.

Life in the Trenches

(10)
60 minute carousel: 6 x 10(ish) minute activities. All could be used as standalone activities, however. Objective is to introduce students to range of key information- what the trenches were like, the difference between the German and English, casualty rates, weaponry, who fought in the trenches, war at sea - without labouring over 'life in the trenches'
