One of my occasional discussions of ‘content’, in this case what we might aim to get out of teaching about 1381.
It’s a great story but what links it to other protests covered later in KS3? What impression do KS3 pupils gain of the middle ages and medieval people from their coverage of 1381? What does research tell us about 1381 that the monastic chroniclers didn’t tell us?
You can read this brief discussion here.
And coming soon – well, by the end of January – a decision-making activity on 1381 devised and developed by Ian Luff and myself – that links to this discussion. A diary entry will follow as soon as the activity is finalised and uploaded.
