Basic London History 43-1066: Romans, Vikings & Anglo-Saxons (Ages 13-17)
Class experience
US Grade 8 - 11
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 43AD to 1066. We begin with the Romans coming to create Londinium, taking a look at how they created the roads and buildings that would form the foundations for the City of London. We will visit the wall, and investigate underneath modern buildings to find Roman remains. From there, we study how the Vikings invaded and the Anglo-Saxons...
* Students will be able to remember and recall when the Romans came to London, developed their outpost at Londinium, recognise the Roman wall on a map and find its ruins in modern London * Students will learn how the Vikings invaded the areas and the names of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, including the last Anglo-Saxon king who negotiated with them * Students will know the names of two kings and the important buildings they created. They will be able to see three of these buildings on Google maps
Originally from Texas, I moved to London in 2001 and my first job was as a double-decker bus tour guide. From there, I studied and worked in London, and created a tour guiding business specialising in providing tours to families who want to get the most out of their vacation. I have 15 years experience as a qualified tour guide for the City of London, Westminster, Camden, St Paul's Cathedral and Guildhall Art Gallery. (I hold an official badge for each of these areas/locations.) I also hold a teaching qualification for further education. My presentation style is dynamic and fun, always keen to find hidden and unknown stories of the past. Each corner of London has an incredible history to tell. On my tours, I dress in costume and use storytelling to bring history to life. Due to the pandemic, many of my tours have transformed to online presentations, and I am still able to reach customers from all over the world.
