Enclosure: the change from the open field system

An active learning task with accompanying power point aimed at KS3 pupils about the changes in land organisation during the agricultural revolution. It is an introduction to the advantages of enclosure. The information focuses on the re-organisation of the land and can be used to start discussion on important catalysts for the industrial changes of the time. It introduces the idea of agricultural change and leads well into a study of better food production and breeding taking place in enclosed fields.The resource ends with differentiated tasks asking pupils to record/explain findings.
The accompanying activities include:
-differentiated maps to annotate
-the ACTIVE LEARNING task is a fantastic outdoors activity to allow pupils to 'walk through' and experience the changes highlighted.
