A superb lesson I have used for numerous observations before. It works well as it is well paced, has group work and helps pupils consolidate their knowledge at the end with some extended writing.
You need some sugar paper or plain A3 would do. Stick the picture of a Motte and Bailey castle and the Stone Keep castle on either side of the sheet prior to the lesson. A good plan of how to run the lesson is below:
Starter: A map image is displayed showing Norman castles that were built by William the Conqueror. Pupils asked questions about the map e.g. What do the locations of the castles tell you about England at the time?
New Learning: Learning objectives displayed and pupils record the relevant one for their target grade into their exercise books.
Pupils watch a short clip about Norman castles and then answer some questions about them with the aid of a PowerPoint slide.
Learning development: In pairs, use the sugar paper to explore, analyse and consider the effectiveness of Motte and Bailey and Stone castles. Afterwards, pupils stick their own versions of the castles in in their books and complete a series of levelled activities.
Plenary: Think of a 15 second sales pitch you would give William about why he should invest in each type of castle to help him control the English.
Revisit Learning Objectives: Pupils consider how/why they have met their learning objective.
