A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Greek history. This resource is designed specifically to help students in particular with the concept of chronology. To help with understanding the passage of time there is a power point presentation that shows the intervals between events, from the First Olympics in 776 BCE to the Romans taking control of Greece in 146 BCE. This has a range of 27 selected events and is designed to convey a sense of the passage of time by having the transition between slides vary in length depending on how many years actually passed between events. Each slide has a date, event and appropriate illustration. (Each event slide is on show for five seconds and the whole presentation lasts for approximately five minutes). There is also a ‘click through’ version of the slide show (same events) to enable the teacher to pause to give additional information or discuss the event with students. The selection of events is not meant to be definitive for the study of that period (it’s a selection not a comprehensive timeline). It is also a compilation from a range of different sources this allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out?
