History: Lesson 1 William The Conqueror

Good morning History Students!
Today, in this history lesson we will be getting prepared for a assignment on William The Conqueror which will be two weeks after this post. I will give you more information on the assignment at the end of the lesson. Now to start we will learn about his birth and where he grew up! This fact file will inform you!
William the Conqueror

Name: William the Conqueror
Occupation: Military Leader, King
Birth Date: 1028
Death Date: September 9th, 1087
Place of Birth: Falaise, Normandy, France
Place of Death: Rouen, France

William was French believe it or not! A work task for this lesson is to research William using the websites below:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_the_Conqueror
http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-battle-of-hastings

http://www.royal.gov.uk/historyofthemonarchy/kingsandqueensofengland/thenormans/williamitheconqueror.aspx
http://www.ducksters.com/history/middle_ages/william_the_conqueror.php

The assignment will, of course, be about William but also with a main focus on the Battle of Hastings. Other websites may be used but the must be listed in the comments.

You have to record your findings on draft paper, then publish it on a Word document (these notes will be used in an exam about William). Please include your name on your Word document and email it to me at academyfordolls@gmail.com. Thanks
