GCSE Ancient History - The Roman Kings

GCSE Ancient History - The Roman Kings

(0)
This resource acts more as a scheme of work for the ‘Roman Kings’ unit of OCR’s GCSE Ancient History course. Owing to the very dense source material used within this unit, I have taken a much more guided approach with this topic and have foregone the usual lesson structuring to accommodate a more in depth analysis of the prescribed sources. As such, please use the official OCR GCSE Ancient History textbook for further guidance. Resources includes: The Legendary Kings The Etruscan Kings Origins of the Republic Securing the Republic All prescribed sources Challenge and extension materials ‘Lesson snapshots’ for guidance (even for beginners in the subject) The lesson snapshots include links to useful resources and extension/challenge materials. I found this particularly useful for this unit, given the general lack of information that is available regarding it.
