A well presented lesson on the defensive features of Medieval castles created for KS3 history students on Microsoft Powerpoint A little about the lesson Students are encouraged to design their own castle and its defences. Students are provided with a king-sized budget and challenged to research and to buy the latest medieval castle defences. Students must therefore consider effectiveness against budget. When considering castle defences students are challenged to use prior knowledge on the most effective and damaging methods of attack. This is a lesson that excites students and really engages them in their learning. Take it a step further and challenge groups to ‘duel off’ against each others castles. Whats included?
