Migration 5: Why did the Normans migrate to England in the years after 1066?

This enquiry introduces a new migrant group: the Normans.

The Normans  arrived in England in significant numbers after William the Conqueror’s success at the Battle of Hastings.

Students start by consolidating their knowledge of the Norman Conquest itself, before examining the reasons for Norman migration after 1066.

They use a Venn diagram to categorise reasons for Norman migration, and then they go on to apply their new knowledge to an exam-style question.

Students are guided through each stage of the enquiry. This ensures that they leave the lesson with a solid understanding of the reasons for Norman migration to England – as well as the best way to answer ‘Explain why’ exam questions.
