GCSE Ancient History Foundations of Rome: Early Roman Republic

This bundle contains a full complement of lessons for the second half of the OCR GCSE Ancient History (9-1) unit: Foundations of Rome.

For the bundle of lessons detailing the origins of Rome and the Seven Roman kings please click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/foundations-of-rome-roman-kings-scheme-dual-coded-12486792

Included are the following 8 lessons, detailing the next parts of the story after Tarquinius Superbus’ exile from the city of Rome:

1. Rome’s Wars of Independence: Silvia Arsia, Lars Porsena & Lake Regilius
2. How did Brutus and Collatinus establish the new Republic?
3. The origins of the Conflict of the Orders between the Patricians and Plebeian classes
4. Sicinius and the First Secession
5. Gnaeus Genucius, Volero Publilius’ uprising and subsequent reforms
6. The First and Second Decemvirates & the Twelve Tables
7. The Second Secession
8. Valerio - Horatian Laws and other reforms of 440s BCE

All of these lessons are fully dual coded to reduce excess ‘noise’ to aid knowledge retention by making sure students know what to focus on and when on each PowerPoint.

Handouts are included as hidden slides to be printed off and videos are included to help make learning stick at various suitable points throughout each lesson. These lessons have been made as a result of me trying to find an engaging way to promote this difficult-to-access part of this course - giving character and background to each figure - making them into a character wherever possible to ensure pupils can remember each historical figure. Exam practice questions are also included in every lesson.

Thanks for taking a look :)
