I have been teaching since 2012 and have a passion for creating interactive resources which can easily be differentiated. I enjoy making PowerPoints to engage pupils in my lessons and ensure that all the tasks are relevant and exciting to the topic being taught. I teach History, Classical Civilisations, PSHCE and General Studies. In addition to this I am also the Career Coordinator at my school and have begun creating numerous schemes of work for Years 7,8 and 9 and drop down days.

Athenian Democracy: The Persian Wars and development of democracy 490-480

$3.94

(0)

A PowerPoint and series of worksheets which cover the Battle of Marathon in 490BC, the interwar period and the Battle of Salamis in 480BC. Most of the worksheets can be completed with any textbook which has information on the Persian Wars (I used Pamela Bradley - Ancient Greece) and a single worksheet of questions is based on Herodotus' account of Marathon. All the worksheets can be edited to fit your classes ability but they are automatically differentiated with different sections in which different pupils fill out to teach each other (some harder than others).

The cards can be printed onto different colours to show the different reforms and once grouped discuss the positive and negative consequences of each reform to promote higher thinking and analysis. My Year 12 students found these excellent as a quick revision toll to trigger their knowledge of Kleisthenes' reforms.

The topics covered are: Problems before Solon in Athens; Why Solon was and his background; Solon's aims in his reforms; Solon's economic and political reforms; the consequences of Solon's reforms and a multiple choice test to check the pupils knowledge on the reforms.

The books used to find the information for the worksheets are Pamela Bradley (Ancient Greece) and Thorley (Athenian Democracy) - these are core texts for the AQA Athenian Democracy specification. However, these sheets and PowerPoints can easily be adapted to fit other textbooks.
