An engaging lesson that explains the feudal system to students. This lesson can be brought to life through some student participation!
Learning outcomes:
Describe what the Feudal System was. (C)
Explain how the Feudal System helped William keep control. (B)
Evaluate how effective the Feudal System was as a way for William to keep control. (A)
Starter - A recap of the Domesday Book (this could easily be changed to Why William Won if you are skipping the Domesday Book in your scheme of work)
Main - The Feudal System. An analogy to the school pyramid and a cartoon strip should be combined with active student participation to explain the feudal system to students. Use an A3 piece of paper to represent all of the land in England! Give it to a chosen student (the King). Tell him he has to apportion a certain amount of land for his barons. What are the dangers of giving too much? What are the dangers of giving too little? Repeat down the Feudal System pyramid.
Main - Now that students are engaged and attuned to the concept of the Feudal System, consolidate their knowledge by asking them to explain the feudal system in their books. This activity includes differentiated word lists that students should use in their explanations.
Plenary - Covers how the Feudal System helped William to control England, linking to the Harrying of the North and the Domesday Book. Once the fourth method is covered (Castles), students are prepared for a longer piece of work / an assessment on William's control methods.
Quiz - Students have to match statements to who said them to consolidate understanding of the feudal system!
