History Resource Cupboard - lessons and resources for schools

1. What was it like to be an ‘alien’ or an outsider in medieval England?

This activity serves to introduce the ‘big story’ of the unit.

Overviews are crucial in helping your pupils make sense of your curriculum.

Your pupils will bound to be engaged by this series of fascinating lessons.

They will be introduced to Jewish people, the disabled, people with mental health issues AND those who hold differing religious views

You could use the story of the unit in the first lesson of the unit.

This will help give students an overview of this unit on how ‘outsiders’ were treated in medieval England.

Or, it would be a great homework activity: students could be tasked with reading the ‘story’ independently, and then answering the comprehension tasks at the end.

Help introduce students to the experiences of outsiders in Medieval England.
