Was Life Good or Bad in the Middle Ages? - The Big Question! |
| 1. |
Revision of Topics
Students go through their notes on each of the key topics studied this year and decide which aspects suggest that life was "Good" during this period, and which aspects suggest life was "Bad". They then write their findings up as an overall conclusion which distinguishes between different times, places and people. |

Interactive Newsfeed: Medieval Realms
Get students into two teams - "Good" and "Bad". The first team should note down any information which suggests life was bad in the middle ages, the other team should do the opposite. Each student should then produce a biased timeline using www.classtools.net. |

Play Your Dates Right: Medieval Realms
A great way of rounding off the "Newsfeed" activity described above - especially as it draws on exactly the same database of 30 events. The class can be divided into small teams, and each one has to nominate a leader responsible for clicking the mouse to decide whether each event came before or after the one just described. Each team takes it in turns to get the best score. |
