Cyrus the Great (dual coded) Graphic Organisers: Ancient History GCSE
These Graphic Organisers are ideal for Ancient History 9-1 GCSE. Quality resources for the GCSE seem scarce and this is me trying to rectify that a bit.
My students really appreciate these. The organisers give enough ‘knowledge’ or ‘information’ for students to get a good grade at GCSE - a 4/5/6 depending on how much information they can retain.
We print these out A5 size and stick them in the middle of our books and as I am teaching students will annotate these sheets according to how much extra information they need to get above a 4/5/6.
The visuals are a huge help and icons and schemas are repeated as and when appropriate across the organisers which makes pupils feel secure and build a mental image of all the content - something I had found challenging to help them create before using these. The GOs really help tell the ‘story’ of Cyrus the Great’s reign
Topics included:
Cyrus’ birth and early life
Cyrus’ conquest of Astyages and the Medes / Media
Cyrus’ conquest of Croesus and the Lydians / Lydia
Cyrus’ conquest of Nabonidus and the Babylonians / Babylon
The importance of the Nabonidus Chronicle, Cyrus Cylinder and Herodotus as sources
The foundation of Cyrus’ city at Pasargadae
Cyrus’ death at the hands of Queen Tomyris and the Massegatae
