This practical webinar will give an academic overview of the substantive knowledge needed to teach the early Anglo-Saxon period at KS2, from the withdrawal of the Romans in at 410 CE to the Viking raid on Lindisfarne in 793. Advice will be given on shaping a medium-term plan with rigorous enquiry questions focused on disciplinary concepts and with suggested activities that would help pupils to answer the questions set. Reference will be made to local history and sites that can be woven into the study unit.
