This is a mega powerpoint of entire Key Topic 1 for Revision. I compiled it from my lessons so there is NOTHING NEW/ DIFFERENT to what is in my lessons but it is all slimmed down into one long powerpoint which I recorded a video with using zoom for our students to learn at home. Could be used for the same purposes if you need it! Also includes a revision table mat worksheet from students to work from which I suggest is printed on A3 double sided and covers all key aspects of Topic 1 including Saxon economy, religion, law and order including trials by ordeal, blood feuds and Wergild, society and hierarchy/ social mobility, government and local government administration and Shire Reeve, powers of King, Powers of Earls, House of Godwin and origins of power and controvesy. Feud with Earl Godwin, Rising against Tostig Causes, events and consequences and the Claimants to the throne in 1066 alongside an evaluation of their claim (included in video), Battles of Gate Fulford, Stamford Bridge and Hastings. I’ve included the video for inspo-it is very long 1 hour 40 mins (whhoops!) but tells the story well with loads of references/ analysis for exam questions and call backs to William’s England and struggle for control as well as changes he makes. Also includes for revision: Match up sheet for Who’s Who in Saxon England Match up sheet for Which Battle as students often get confused by these
