London has 2,000 years of history -- Let's break in down into bitesize pieces, and in this one-time class we will start with a focus on London history from 1066-1300. After William the Conqueror invades and wins the Battle of Hastings, he takes stock of what he now owns and writes it all down in the Doomsday Book. A few kings sit on the thrown and take advantage of their power, until the people force one of them to sign the Magna Carta. Many kings travel abroad in a series of Crusades, and we will learn how one got thrown in jail. How much does it cost to free a king? Perfect for students without any background knowledge, geared to make history fun and interesting! In addition to lots of facts, students are encouraged to take notes or make drawings to reinforce learning. During the class, students will be asked to discuss what they have learned and complete a handout with answers. The instructor will teach using discussion, slides, images and an interactive map. Students are encouraged to ask questions along the way.
Learning Goals
* Students will be able to describe the Battle of Hastings and identify the competitors
* Students will learn about the Magna Carta and why it was so important
* Students will be able to explain why it is called the Doomsday Book
* Students will identify the reason and events associated with The Crusades

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a professional tour guide in London and love going around the city (sometimes dressed in costume!) and teaching visitors about the fascinating history. With over 2000 years of events, there is plenty to learn! My signature tour is where I dress like a singing nanny from the Edwardian period and teach about suffragettes and chimney sweeps!
If you have been dreaming of visiting London, but want to get a head start on learning more about this city and the history here.... my classes are perfect for you.
I believe that you can learn and have fun at the same time. No subject is too boring, and I hope you will find my classes to be entertaining, engaging and educational. During class, I often change costumes to help keep the learners engaged and I encourage dressing up in class!
