Anglo-Saxon Invasion & Settlement: Complete Lesson Bundle (KS2 / Grades 2-5)

Save 35% with this All-in-One Anglo-Saxon Invasion Bundle. The ultimate “Done-For-You” lesson kit including a scripted plan, immersive PowerPoint, and student worksheets.

We’ve all been there: You find a great map online, but it doesn’t match the PowerPoint you found somewhere else. Then you spend two hours trying to write a lesson plan that ties them together. It’s the “Sunday Night Scramble,” and it’s exhausting.

I built this bundle to fix that. This isn’t just a collection of random files; it’s a cohesive ecosystem. The map on the screen matches the map on the desk. The clues in the presentation lead directly to the answers on the worksheet. It’s a seamless narrative that lets you walk into the classroom with total confidence—and leaves you with your evening free.

What’s Included? This download contains 3 fully integrated resources (approx. 60-90 minutes of teaching time):

1. The “Scripted” Lesson Plan (PDF)

• A step-by-step teacher’s guide covering AD 410 to the Heptarchy.
• Includes “Engaging Questions” to spark debate and specific differentiation strategies for Lower, Middle, and Higher ability students.
• “I’ve written this so you can pick it up 5 minutes before the lesson and know exactly what to say.”

2. The Immersive PowerPoint (13 Slides)

• High-quality visuals of the Migration, the 7 Kingdoms, and Viking/Saxon settlements.
• Includes the interactive “Old English Word Game” (e.g., guessing Hūs = House).
• Visual “Place Name Detective” slides that explain suffixes like -ford and -ham.

3. The Map & Worksheet Activity (PDF)

• The Map: A clean outline of Britain for students to color-code the kingdoms (Wessex, Mercia, etc.).
• The Detective Task: 10 clues where students decipher meanings like “Beormingaham” to find modern cities.
• Teacher Answer Key: Full answers included for zero-prep marking .

Why Buy the Bundle?

• Seamless Integration: The visual style (fonts, colors, maps) is consistent across all three files, reducing cognitive load for students.
• Total Time Saver: You aren’t just buying files; you are buying back 3 hours of planning time.
• Best Value: Purchasing this bundle saves you 35% compared to buying the resources individually.

Pedagogical Logic

• Scaffolded Inquiry: The lesson moves from Visual (PowerPoint) to Discussion (Lesson Plan) to Application (Worksheet), catering to all learning styles.
• Historical Empathy: Uses scenario-based learning (“Imagine you are a settler…”) to make the history stick.
