This lessons is part of the enquiry: ‘Who were the English (before 1066)’?
The enquiry focuses on the skill historical evidence. Overall, students will refer to five pieces of evidence (Roman skeletons discovered at Aballava fort, Sutton Hoo helmet, Bede’s account of Hadrian and Theodore, the Viking Domesday Stone, and a coin from the reign of King Æthelstan) in order to answer the enquiry question.
This lesson’s main task is a quick-off-the-draw group task. Students need the questions printing out on coloured paper (different colours for each group). They use the information sheet (available in the student booklet) to find the answers to each question one at a time. They must bring their answers to you (usually on a whiteboard) and it must be correct before you give them the next question. The lesson also features several video clips and links and an analysis of the Viking Domesday Stone (linked to the enquiry question). Otherwise, the resources on the PowerPoint are hopefully self-explanatory in terms of how to deliver it to students.
You can download the corresponding student booklet for free with all the required work sheets and resources.

- Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms and Sutton Hoo (2 lessons).
