What Was Life Like in Medieval Villages?

This lesson contains:
A chance to recap the Feudal System and ask students to remember the peasants' place in society.
A series of slides to discuss with the students. This leads to some interesting converstation as you cycle through the images. For each, students consider whether the image shows working life, home life or entertainment/spare time. You can then explore what you see and what you can learn.
A main task for students to research about the lives of peasants in villages. They use the information cards provided which have lots of facts and evidence on. The students make notes about work, comfort and homes, diet and food and dangers and difficulties in their books using either a mind map or by putting four sections on a full page.
A plenary to describe features of the problems faced in villages.
