How do I plan and teach medieval history?

Was your diet of school history mostly modern? Are you more comfortable debating the industrial revolution than the feudal revolution? And do you now find yourself teaching more medieval history, particularly at GCSE and A-level? Recent changes to the examination specifications in England have made the medieval mainstream, and as a teacher you might find you need to brush up not only on the period itself, but also on some of the peculiar issues associated with teaching it.
