A Top Trumps based activity comparing Harold Godwinson's army with William, Duke of Normandy's. I often use this after a Stamford Bridge lesson, before the first Battle of Hastings lessons. A great starter activity or can be used as an activity within the main section of the lesson. I have used the resource to elicit a judgment from students about which army is the strongest, which they can then transfer into a written paragraph, using evidence from the cards to support their statements. Students can use this information to make predictions about what they think might happen in the Battle itself. The desired outcome is for the students to have an understanding about the power of each army and who is likely to win. I print these on card and laminate them for re-use. Available in Publisher and Word format.
