Key Questions:

• What did the Normans do in Ireland?
• What skills did they bring to Ireland?
• How did they win battles in Ireland?
• How did they live their daily lives?

In order to answers some questions we are going to explore some Secondary Resources:

Task 1: In pairs compare the two photos and discuss with your partner 10 main differences and you must write one page in your S.E.S.E copies explaining why you believe the Normans won the battles in Ireland, use the web links at the bottom of this page for extra information.


Task 2:
Explore the objects that were found belonging to Normans.
Can you figure out what they were and what they were used for?
Complete the Report Form and present to the class when finished.
Using Voice Thread, record your findings and other groups will listen to your recording and figure out which object you chose.
