  • Trade, ideas and communication

Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the similarities and differences between various medieval lives in Norwich. In doing so, they build deep knowledge of one particular historical place and what it tells us about medieval England more generally.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' key stage 2 knowledge of life during different periods like the Anglo-Saxon and Viking ages. It enriches their understanding of similarity and difference. It prepares pupils for the next unit as a point of comparison between life in Norwich and the medieval kingdom of Mali. It also prepares pupils for future year 7 units that deal with medieval culture and society, such as those about the Black Death and the Peasants' Revolt.
