<p>Use the included site plan and tour, site photos, timeline and suggested activities to investigate Orford Castle in Orford, Suffolk, England. This medieval castle was built in 1165-1173 by King Henry ll and overlooks the coast at the mouth of the river Ore. This resource gives you several suggested activities to make cross curricular links with art and design, English, Geography and maths.</p>
This is geared for British schools where students would be able to take a field trip to the castle. This would not have much significance in an American K-12 curriculum. For Grade 7-Middle Ages a teacher might be able to pull some of the information to help in that unit when learning about life in Medieval times, but it is highly doubtful the whole lesson would be used. Also, I think the tags are not quite right...the reading is above 3, 4 &5th grade levels. The teacher would need to make it easier for them to understand.
Although some resources reference UK trips, the instructions for teachers gives great information and graphics for a unit on castles or England.
