In the back of your books - make a list of any nations that you think have ever successfully invaded Britain?

Before 1066 it is very clear that many people have moved to live in Britain. Some were invited or encouraged to move – migrants, other were unwelcome – invaders. Q. What is the difference between a migrant and an invader?

Vikings Romans Stone Age Anglo-Saxons Celts Write down your answer in your book. 2 a) What problems might the settlers have caused the people of Britain? 2 b) What benefits might the settlers have brought to the people of Britain?

Space – people often move from their own country to a new country because they desire more land to grow crops or to own. Natural Resources – People are often attracted to move to a new country if it has a large amount of natural resources such as oil, timber, and minerals. Jobs and work– people often move to a new country if there are good opportunities to set up new businesses and lots of jobs are available. Wages – if wages are higher in your destination country than the country that you live in you may be tempted to move. Freedom – sometimes people move to a new country if they have more freedom to practise their religion, to say what they want, and live as they want without interference.

Overcrowding – Increases in population meant that many areas were overcrowded. There was a shortage of land. Unemployment – many workers found themselves out of work. This could be down to problems with businesses going out of business or introduction of new machinery. Persecution – people often had to flee from violence in their own countries. This was often down to the fact they were of a different religion to other people. Starvation – many people were forced to leave their country because they and their families would have starved to death if they stayed.

1.We will need to go outside to do this. We will have to use chalk to mark out the lines of the living graph. 2.I will need 8 volunteers. 3. Each volunteer will need the appropriate Tabbard to identify themselves to the class. You will need to read your characters story very carefully. 4. Individually I will ask the volunteers to read out there information. I will then ask them to decide whether you were pushed out of your country or pulled towards Britain. You will place themselves on the vertical scale as appropriate. 5. The volunteers then using the timescale will have to place themselves horizontally in the right place. You will need to make sure you are chronologically in the right place. 6. As the volunteers are doing this the rest of the class will be listening very carefully to the volunteers and filling in their grids.

Push – Near to the Whiteboard Pull – towards the back of the room. 1. A.D – is next to the door A.D – is next to computer
