In this lesson students will focus on the question- why was Sparta so tough?
They will learn how Sparta was ruled and will compare this with Athens. They will learn more about the spartan warrior lifestyle through the presentation and video links and how boys were trained in the Agoge from age 7. They will also learn what a hoplite (Spartan soldier) wore and what role women and girls played in Sparta.
Their tasks will be to draw and label their own hoplite and then write a diary entry from the perspective of a Spartan, using the information they have learnt. Worksheets for these tasks are provided.
By the end of the lesson, students will have a deep understanding of Spartan society.
This lesson is intended for KS2 but can easily be modified to suit KS3.
