About This Lesson
Obviously this resource is very specific to Britain, so perhaps would be suitable to slightly older students with a broader concept and knowledge of geography and history.
Students learn about who settled in Britain and where, and why the villages and towns that we live in today are located where they are. They then go on to think about what features made certain locations attractive to settlers. Students use Google Earth to look at the features of different villages and list the reasons why a settlement grew up in that location.
Brilliant as part of my Houses and Homes theme. I've downloaded the Exploring your area activity too. Looking forward to trying them out.
