Week 1 BLP Focus: Noticing details
Research different types of castle – Motte and Bailey, Square Keep, Concentric &
Device Forts. Produce an information page on each type.
Complete your own Castles Glossary. Add any extra
words you think are essential.

Week 2 BLP Focus: Making links
For each castle you have researched make a list of
its strengths and its weaknesses.
You could do this by labelling a picture or
diagram.
For each castle you have researched annotate a
diagram showing the castle’s key features and explaining how it could be defended
against attacks and where it was vulnerable.
For each castle you have researched annotate a
diagram showing the castle’s key features and explaining how it could be defended
against attacks and where it was vulnerable. Show how
castle designers responded to developments in weapons and
attack methods.

Week 3 ASSESSMENT BLP Focus: Reasoning
Conclusion – Write a 1 side structured answer to the key question of your
project. You may want to use
illustrations or diagrams.
Conclusion – Write a 2 side structured answer to explain
all the key reasons why castles changed over time.
You may want to divide these in to topics like ‘better
defence’.
Conclusion – write 2 to 3 sides of structured writing to analyse how and why castles
changed over time.
You should explain the different reasons why
changes in design of castles took place.
You should reach a
judgement about whether the main reason was because of
ideas brought back from abroad, or another factor.
