It is designed to help students apply significance criteria effectively to the consequences of the Peasants’ Revolt in order to make a substantiated judgement. They also categorise the consequences of the Peasants' Revolt as political, social or cultural.

Task 2: Significance criteria
Historians judge the significance of people and events in the past in several different ways. This allows them to come to a supported judgement. We are going to use these criteria:
- Turning point: did it change the course of events? Did people act differently as a result?
- Long-lasting: how long did the consequences continue to affect people?
- Deep impact: did the consequences deeply affect people’s lives?
