Tales from the Green Valley - 1 & 2

0 Comments

 
A team of historians and archeologists work a farm as it would have been done in the Stuart Period.  They work a full calendar year on the farm.  They will turn theory into practice.  Stuart Peachy helped rebuild the site.

The Historians are Stuart Peachy and Ruth Goodman.  The Archeologists are Peter Ginn, Alex Langlands, and Chloe Spencer.  Stuart runs the farm, and Ruth runs the household.  Peter, Alex, and Chloe take care of the animals, building maintenance, and the fields.  Chloe has the most experience with taking care of the animals.

They kick off the year by plowing the fields and making bread.  They plant wheat into the field by broadcasting.

Each episode in the series is 30 minutes long.  It could be a last-minute fill-in for a substitute in an agricultural class or a history class.

For use in the classroom: just highlight, copy and paste into a word document or a google document for use in the classroom.  You can easily format these questions to your specifications.  All questions should fit onto one page after formatting.

The team continues to work on the cowshed. They build a roof for the cowshed.  They fight the rain to make sure the roof gets on and adapt to their clothing while they work on it.
