The History of England in the Middle Ages

C.L.I.L. Module is focused to integrate:

  1. historical contents (about some of the most important events of  the Middle Ages in England, from the  Norman Conquest to the Wars of the Roses)
  2. and language skills (Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing in English)

English, which is studied by the students as a second language, is used to learn as well to communicate.

Both the English and the History teachers will hold their lessons together. 

The module consists of 5 working units, dealing generally with a specific historical event and the main historical character who played a relevant role in the event itself. In particular, the contents proposed refer to:

  1. The battle of Hastings (1066) and William the Conqueror;
  2. The Magna Charta (1215) and King John I;
  3. Film Robin  Hood, Prince of Thieves (1991)
  4. The Wars of Roses (1455-1459) and King Henry VII
  5. Lifestyle in England in The Middle Ages.

In each unit which is supposed to last 2 hours, students will work in group and/or in pairs, analyse the texts, look for specific information on the internet, interact, discuss, write short reports or a review of the film.
