To select a range of sources that show change and continuity and explain how they do so To evaluate the extent of change and continuity in migration to Britain between 1000 and 2010 Use the timeline to recap groups of migrants who came to Britain over the last 1000 years – try to name at least 3 groups who came in each time period This lesson is designed to be delivered when the course content has been completed. www.ourmigrationstory.org.uk

Overview Task 1. For the medieval period: Change and Continuity 1000-2010 Overview Task Using the Our Migration Story website… 1. For the medieval period: Identify the source that best represents migration in this period Justify your choice with an explanation of why you have chosen it. 2. Then, for each of the following three time periods, explore the sources in each section and: Identify a source that shows change in migration to Britain, or the experiences of those groups coming to Britain, from the previous period (comparing it to the choice you made for medieval migration).
