Resources for Schools

Over time we hope to build up a bank of lesson plans that cover the momentous events of the early tenth century (and related materials). If you are a teacher who currently gives lessons about early medieval Britain, and would like to submit your essay plans for inclusion here, please email england1100th@gmail.com, and give details about:

  • the school year the plan is intended for;

  • the school at which you teach;

  • any other contextual detail you find important

Scroll down to find lesson plans (which will be added as and when they come in)!
