00:05okay yes seven well thank you for being
00:07so prompt and on time it's a slightly
00:09unusual to be having your lesson here
00:12now so well done for being spot on time
00:14now just to reconnect you with what
00:17you're doing at the moment and the
00:19inquiry you're doing and we've been
00:22studying this question what can we learn
00:24from computer games about medieval
00:28and remember medieval means the years
00:31the Year 1000 to around the Year 1400
00:34and warfare means fighting so can anyone
00:39remind me of the things that we've
00:41studied so far what topics have we
00:43studied to help us decide if computer
00:46games are really useful for learning
00:48about history rakiya um armor good and
00:52Rajveer weapons weapons excellent okay
00:56so today we're actually going to
00:59investigate the final little piece of
01:02the puzzle and that is castles what can
01:06we learn from computer games about
01:08castles now what I'd like you to do is
01:12think really carefully when I saw you on
01:14parents evening and when you got your
01:16progress checks if you know that you're
01:19on level 5 at the moment ok by the end
01:23of this lesson you should be able to say
01:26to me how castles changed over time and
01:30why they changed over time
01:32and you should be able to say to me does
01:35that mean the computer game does a
01:36computer game show this how useful is
01:39this computer game alright if you're one
01:41if you're aiming towards a level for 2
01:43or 5 you should be able to do the same
01:46things but you're going to be able to
01:47instead you're just going to explain to
01:49me whether this computer game is useful
01:52or not you may not talk about the motive
01:55of the people who made the game okay so
01:57there's two clear tasks to clear
01:59objectives for you level 4 to 5 tell me
02:03all right that the game is useful why
02:06it's useful and you can tell me reasons
02:09why it's useful level 5 and above same
02:12but see if you can talk about the motive
02:15of the people who made the game are they
02:17if they maybe got a different mo
02:18than actually trying to teach history
02:20okay so without further ado let's look
02:24at the real history of castles in front
02:27of you you've got a little whiteboard
02:28okay that's one between two unless
02:32you're at the moment you're working on
02:34your own because your pair isn't here
02:35today and what's going to happen is in
02:39your pairs you are going to become
02:41master castle builders okay I'm going to
02:45tell you some information from the kings
02:48of England because you have now all been
02:50hired by the kings of England to build
02:53castles for them I'm going to give you
02:55some instructions and you have to listen
02:58really carefully and you're going to use
03:01those instructions to decide how to
03:02build your castle okay so here's your
03:07first set of instructions you're going
03:09to draw your castle on the board once
03:12I've given you the instructions first
03:15set of instructions the year is 1066
03:18William the conquerer has just won the
03:22Battle of Hastings to become King of
03:24England but in many parts of England the
03:26people don't want him there and they are
03:29fighting against him William and his
03:31soldiers must be protected and the
03:34English people must be shown who is boss
03:36so he decides to build a castle but he
03:40says it must be built really quickly and
03:42he's only got wood and earth or soil to
03:45do it okay so it's really important that
03:48it's high up to so that he can see
03:50danger approaching and he needs an area
03:53for the soldiers to live so how could
03:57you design a castle look at the words
03:59underlined and in bold to give you some
04:02ideas can you in your pairs think of a
04:05castle you could design made of wood
04:08earth and high up right you've got one
04:12and a half minutes used a little pen
04:14I've given you to draw on your
04:15whiteboard work together design your
04:18castle master builders off you go okay
04:23excellent so just work together
04:26draw your castles use this pen on there
04:28okay use the instructions carefully
04:31oh yeah but first don't bow strong okay
04:37so do your console looks income yeah
04:40what do you think could look like a
04:55I oppose I don't I've hidden did you
05:14just think okay you've got one minute
05:28guys three-ball little salon he's
05:37leaving a boy are you sure you sell
05:44oh and over here we do the line again
05:51you could cop it when you let my niece I
05:53guess he actually should I go home okay
05:56are you making yours only avoid guys
05:59make sure you have your instruction yes
06:01we write each polite be done it Sam in
06:06Madrid that's great that would just I
06:09think that would serve his purpose what
06:10don't you the structions make sure it's
06:14what's all this built off make sure you
06:16use justice and good and it's it was it
06:20gonna be a natural hill which is easily
06:33yeah you've got ten seconds nine eight
07:02seven six five four three two and pens
07:13down stop drawing okay so how did you
07:17get on Castle builders Akram how did you
07:21get on do we think we've matched the
07:22brief do you think Williams gonna be
07:24happy okay could you hold your boards up
07:28so I can see your designs please
07:31woo now this is this one at the back can
07:36you all look at that one for a second
07:38well done Salma and rakia can you see
07:41how they've really done exactly what
07:43Williams said it's on a hill it's made
07:46of wood and it's high up and where would
07:49your soldiers live it's inside good okay
07:53now if you look this way okay and here
07:58is the castle that people ended up
08:02building in 1066 you guys did this
08:06really well look you all put your castle
08:11on a nice big hill of Earth and made it
08:13of wood well done but times are changing
08:16builders things are gonna get a little
08:19bit more tricky for you it's now 10 81
08:24so 20 years later roughly clean your
08:27boards you're gonna build a new castle
08:34so clean your boards oh okay I don't I'd
08:41picked it up and walked off of it sorry
08:43so are we ready here is your brief
08:46castle builders pens down listening
08:50the castles William had built for him by
08:55you have got big problems so you could
08:58be in a lot of trouble the wood has
09:01begun so rot in the heavy rain and wood
09:06catches fire really easily so all those
09:08people are attacking you with their
09:10flaming arrows your castles are being
09:12burnt to the ground and as a result you
09:16need more soldiers right you need bigger
09:19buildings for your soldiers there's not
09:20enough room in that old design so he
09:23still needs to keep control he needs to
09:26have a different type of castle and he's
09:29got a new thing you can use stone okay
09:33he did like however the way the wooden
09:37castles looked so he liked the way they
09:40looked but now you've got stone you've
09:43got one and a half minutes design your
09:46new castles look at the butt words in
09:49they will help you alright so what do
09:52you think yeah because he likes the way
09:55it looked at me but it's just made of
09:57stone now and needs to be bigger
10:08then like cause we've got work to do
10:12like steamer this is much a shoulder
10:17so I've scooped on hazel yeah and
10:20wait what can I do the wind isn't
10:22anything do the same kind is what is
10:25just to build this one minute left guys
10:40so what are you guys going good so much
10:48to live in is it making your last one
11:03it's kind of wouldn't fancy only coming
11:06back you can fire our the wooden thing
11:15thank you Jesus also because yeah that's
11:25and it was like response I swear you
11:29have something a little bit new single
11:54running filter coming yeah that's great
12:01clarity sense are they are they living
12:04there are you thinking that picture we
12:11just saw us there was yes yeah we're
12:14planning to put watchtowers Oh down
12:18all right that's a very good idea like
12:22that five seconds this is one so done
12:31four three two and one
12:37now can you just do me a favor write the
12:40date on that picture you've just drawn
12:42the date is 1081 okay um can I ask um
12:53who will I ask Akram can you tell me
12:56looking at that castle you guys are
12:58drawn what's changed from 1066 look
13:02different because of the stone it's a
13:04different shape to the wood okay kids
13:06what else has changed because it's made
13:08of stone what else does that mean has
13:11changed people go for it rakia the color
13:14the color has changed good that would
13:16affect the landscape what else has
13:18changed this drug has changed the
13:20strength-wise it changed because then
13:22the wood was a bit easy to break and eat
13:25um to get the catch fire and the stone
13:28is now much easier and it's much
13:30stronger so it's much harder for them to
13:33hit at the castle good well explained
13:35fabulous and Vikas what else has changed
13:38don't like it won't be able to break and
13:41it's much heavier than the wood
13:42good well done here won't get bird well
13:44done and that's a key thing isn't it he
13:46didn't want them to be burnt down so you
13:48can see that castles are changing okay
13:52the design is changing
13:54next one rub out your designs next step
14:00and please write the dates at the top
14:04it's 11 26 now so it's almost 60 60
14:09years since William has invaded so its
14:1311th year is 1126 each part will have no
14:17Troy yeah okay so here we go ready it's
14:37some English people don't under have
14:40worked out that they can make your stone
14:42castle collapse oh dear
14:45you are going to seriously lose your
14:47jobs if you're not careful guys they are
14:49digging holes under the stone walls and
14:53if they dig under it the stone collapses
14:56into the hole your castles are about to
14:58just be ruined so you need to add extra
15:04extra defences you need to act quickly
15:07don't redefine your whole castle as
15:09quick add defenses you need to protect
15:12add something to protect it stone is
15:15available money is available one and a
15:17half minutes or I think you're going to
15:19get your heads chopped off by the king
15:20who's unhappy just protocol
16:21so that's for the soldiers who they say
16:24abandoned Oh shoes from the outside here
16:27the king would stay in this so you won
16:42everything six but one watch them all
17:47yeah we could use weapons but if we've
17:50only got stoned available to us and
17:52you've got to build something in stone
17:54what else could you add Sudan didn't
17:56really like a broken that's a good idea
18:05talk like a portcullis store which you
18:07could add that but I'm thinking or to do
18:09it they actually designed as a parcel in
18:12terms of a stone what you can build out
18:14stone because he hasn't told you you've
18:16got metal isn't on you've got word he's
18:18only giving you stone so you've got to
18:20think in stone I'm gonna give you a clue
18:23if you built a wall around it why would
18:25that help then you get to what we need
18:29to get through something else first
18:30don't know does that make sense yeah
18:34I'm around liable only Foundation after
18:56classes coin toss across classes coffee
19:05and okay guys I'll get a horse ever come
19:13and then watch turn right had a little
19:17longer this time so I'm expecting your
19:19designs to be amazing
19:21pens down you've had a little extra time
19:24so I expect your designs to be amazing
19:27pull your hand up if in your team you
19:31decided to keep the same rough design
19:35but you added something like a wall or a
19:38moat like some water dearie me you're
19:41pretty good maybe you won't get your
19:43head chopped off well done I've got to
19:45move you on one more date people the new
19:48date 1272 let's work quickly rub
20:04well done good question it is after
20:08death its ad right now you've been doing
20:14quite well but there's now an even
20:16bigger problem even if you've built a
20:19wall around your castle the English
20:22people have worked out that they can
20:24just surround your castle Hika they can
20:27surround your castle with people and
20:29that's called a siege and what they've
20:32worked out is that if hundreds of people
20:35surround your castle and just wait
20:38you're going to die cuz you will starve
20:42you're gonna have no food you won't have
20:44anything coming in or out will you so
20:47ultimately you've got to change your
20:50castle design the king of England
20:53cannot have his men dying because they
20:56are being surrounded now crucial things
21:00to design make sure that the soldiers
21:03cannot be trapped in one place you don't
21:06want them all in one central place three
21:11don't let the soldiers be trapped in one
21:13place have lots of little castles within
21:15one walls and round walls go for it
21:19people you've got one and a half minutes
21:21yes if a service people here around is
21:28the same as our normal will except for
21:30you can still get on yeah but it's
21:32because it's round yes the mall is like
21:34this if you try and dig under this bit
21:37yeah put your finger there right if you
21:40try and dig under that only that bit of
21:42all is gonna collapse
21:43these bits are still standing if it's a
21:46straight wall and you dig under it all
21:48of that it's gonna collapse does that
21:53- all right you can put your little
21:56houses around it I'm in the round it's
22:00gonna be a bigger as another run ah
22:02right outside so the actual castle is
22:04that square all right okay that's gonna
22:07stay square and you're gonna have some
22:09get any calls on big circles extra yeah
22:13right why is that going to go inside
22:17look at all the way around the castle
22:19Yeah right here and that should make it
22:25stronger shouldn't it so this is big
22:33that'll be partial partial I
22:38decided we're gonna let have a little
22:42unloved passageway alone it's getting
22:45them and it's this around yes
22:47so is that the castle stays quiet is it
22:49yeah oh yeah we just added yet under
22:58and guys super duper coming down either
23:56the base is already building up defenses
23:59in 1800 seconds people you can have that
24:08commitment that I've seen that you know
24:10that dreams this town okay castle
24:23builders pens down your time is up need
24:28some pens thank you excellent now
24:33builders I hope you're gonna pass your
24:36test I hope William not William hope the
24:38King saw he's not gonna chop your head
24:40did your castle look something like this
24:44did you have more than one place for the
24:48soldiers to live put your hands up if
24:50you had more than one place with
24:51soldiers live super duper but your hand
24:53up if you added some walls to your
24:55castle no not bad not bad good put your
25:00hands up if your walls were around hmm
25:04maybe you're okay I think I'm gonna let
25:07you pass the test but before you can
25:10pass the test here's a quick true or
25:12thumbs up if it's true thumbs down if
25:14it's false number one all castles in
25:17history are made of wood false
25:20SuperDuper wooden castles had to be
25:23replaced by stone true well done there
25:28was only one type of castle design ever
25:32false well done there were different
25:35types of castle designs lovely castle
25:39designs were invented bit by bit they
25:42changed over time excellent well done
25:48that's a difficult one new castles
25:52happened mostly because of problems with
25:55the old designs great well done guys
26:00you're making good progress but here is
26:06do the computer games make us think the
26:09right thing about these castles you've
26:11seen castles okay you've seen a little
26:14bit about how to change but do computer
26:17games make us think the right thing I've
26:20got some pictures to show you all right
26:22I'm going to whiz through them look
26:24carefully number one this according to
26:29the computer game is how castles looked
26:32it says that there are square towers
26:36lots of towers not just one and it says
26:40there are two walls protecting the
26:42castle okay that's the first thing the
26:45game suggests the game also suggests
26:48that there are at least two protective
26:51walls and there is a rounded Tower and
26:54there are square towers finally looking
26:58this way guys it says everything's on a
27:02hill that they're rounded and they're
27:04square when did round towers get
27:08invented look at the dates on your
27:11little thing China pay attention good
27:14girl towers were invented when palm beer
27:1812:7 ground towers 1272 the computer
27:23games we've looked at were sets that
27:26means the dates that they were set in
27:27was 1191 we're round towers invented
27:32then no were multiple walls around the
27:37castles invented then know they were
27:40vented in 1272 later than the game these
27:44computer games you've worked out and not
27:47necessarily teaching you the real
27:49history and you're going to explain this
27:52by writing some sentences which will
27:55ultimately help you in your final
27:58China could you give those out to the
28:00back row for me thank him dear
28:09nice and quick you can get started as
28:13soon as you've got one guys on this
28:18sheet yeah Hika oh that's all right you
28:23can have it there you go thank you
28:28China's gonna pass me someone I'll do
28:30this row here cheers whoa ah so right on
28:36the sheet you get given guys okay Thank
28:55You China have a seat for me so rotten
29:05sheet please super so read the
29:07instructions on the sheet china trying
29:10to read your instructions and you can
29:14write on the sheet so Ella you're
29:16writing on the sheet good girl
29:17it's fully explained for you yeah
29:30so it says I know in 1191 I know that
29:34real castles look like this so look on
29:37the back that's how real castles looked
29:39isn't it that's what you drew so you
29:41would say just they had a square tower
29:43and stone walls yeah and then compare
29:47that what did you see in a computer
29:49games I'll put a computer games pictures
29:51back up so you can use them to describe
29:54for the second part okay so basically
30:01you're going to explain why castles if
30:03you supply those games are useful what
30:05we've looked at why is it useful what
30:07they taught you that's true what is true
30:35good well done you got to help if you
30:39need it for sentences
30:41you're right here guys dressed up again
30:42Jews yeah so what have they got right
30:46what the computer games got right
30:48he was Castle fantastic right down down
30:51yeah so they've got right back so what
31:04excellent so that's what you're driving
31:06their computer I don't
32:00fabulous focus people well done
32:12yeah what they help you doing costumes
32:14that what they got quite where the
32:17cooling the screen just about castles
32:19what have they got right castles were
32:20made in one and the stallion show yeah
32:26the screen shows are made of stone yeah
32:28is that true yeah well major stone not
32:31nicely to say it was their shows readers
32:34may stone which is true you've got about
32:39another three or four minutes cr7 you
32:451191 that's miss sex that's a day to
32:47obsessive features does that cos square
33:10so did I'd say explain from six ounces
33:20okay and you gain also suggests turn 21
33:25what today also don't tell whose own
33:42well around coster-waldau is our award
33:46and run what do you think from looking
33:49at the picture it's Vegas more than one
33:55yeah because it says at least two
33:57protective books yeah well it didn't
34:00because we're not doing this picture up
34:01here felonio was this game but this is
34:07race as 12:7 so that that picture there
34:11looks quite similar to that of the game
34:16so the game set before that intently 91
34:20somebody was it if you can alright I'd
34:30really love you to have a look at the
34:32extension question the last bit which
34:35says what's the motive of these people
34:37what does a lot to him because one of
34:42them yeah which one you start on day
34:48you know this you told me this answer a
34:50few weeks ago yes you came up with a
34:53really brilliant point that how can they
34:55really what was the wider computer
34:58people make games for fun do they make
35:02them for us to learn history so are we
35:06maybe being a bit unfair to judge this
35:08as a piece of history yeah
35:13okay everyone we've got about another
35:161/2 minutes and I'm going to really push
35:19your thinking in a minute so be prepared
35:21to have those brain cells ruminating and
35:23cogitating it means whizzing around and
35:26doing challenging things what could you
35:30do if you want to test if this game is a
35:33good honest and accurate one what would
35:35you do this is what would you come
35:41what's the word we use this begins with
35:45a seat when we looked at how to be a
35:48really good historian we said we we ask
35:51questions then we look at the sources
35:53and investigate and then we
35:55cross-reference we compare sources
35:57that's it yeah so that's what a really
35:59good historian would do let's get an
36:01explanation done well done right
36:08everybody sit up dear and your final
36:13final challenge and just before we go
36:19you've begun to explain on those answers
36:22that computer games are a little bit
36:25useful but maybe a little bit wrong as
36:28well ok that's ultimately what you're
36:30telling me on though on in your answers
36:33can anyone move the glass on and help us
36:36think why why do computer games maybe
36:39get things wrong what is the purpose of
36:42a game is it to teach us or is it to
36:45have fun fun can anyone tell me more
36:50about this what is the motive as the
36:53are we being fair judging a computer
36:56game as a historical source

37:13critical but this is what I want you to
37:16remember it's up here Palmer I'll take
37:18your question and SEC we can learn
37:20history from so many different sources
37:22it's the right now like games films the
37:26internet books and each source is going
37:29to give us a slightly different view and
37:31if you're going to be super historians
37:33you need to compare them now this
37:36gentleman here reached that conclusion
37:37didn't you you said we should always
37:39compare sources to see if they're right
