Migration 6: What was the most significant aspect of the Norman invasion?

This enquiry focuses on the impact of the Normans in England, helping to develop students’ understanding of the second-order concept of significance.

Students gather evidence about the impact of the Norman invasion, before applying this to an engaging task.

They  advise a TV production company on how much time should be allocated within a documentary on the different aspects of the Norman invasion.

Clearly this is based on the significance of each aspect covered.

At the end of the enquiry, students are introduced to the 16-mark exam question, and they are guided in thinking about the requirements of this type of question. Relevant and practical.
