Description

In this unit, pupils develop their knowledge and understanding of the Islamic world in the 11th century. Pupils study three connected, but contrasting, centres of Islamic civilisation: Baghdad, Cordoba and Sicily.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' year 5 knowledge of early Islamic civilisation. It deepens their understanding of Baghdad and how the politics of the Islamic world had changed since the 8th and 9th centuries. This unit prepares pupils for the future year 7 unit on the First Crusade, ensuring pupils can place that event within the context of changing Muslim rule.

  1. Baghdad in the 11th century
  2. Cordoba in the 11th century
  3. Sicily and other Islamic worlds in the 11th century

  • Pupils know about the rise of Islam.
  • Pupils know about the growth of the Islamic Empire in the 7th and 8th centuries.
  • Pupils know about conflict between Islamic and Christian powers in the early medieval period.
