Castles

__Medieval Castles__

Task: To prepare a 3 minute presentation to the class on the castle of your choice.

1. In pairs, browse the different castles at []

2. Once you decide on a castle, tell Miss Williams (as only one group can cover each castle), and use the internet to find information about:

a. When and why it was built b. How it was constructed (what is made from, has it been damaged and repaired before?) c. What it is used for today

Note: some of these answers may not be straightforward, so where there is disagreement you should mention it!

Present your findings in a 3 minute powerpoint presentation or video to the class. You should use some photos or video footage of the castle to make the presentation engaging.

Due: Monday, 15 Aug (Period 1) - your presentation must be uploaded onto M-Learning (yr 8 History) before the lesson!
