What is the 'Classical World' - An introduction to Ancient Greece (& Rome)
This lesson is designed to be the first lesson for students who have no prior knowledge of Classics/Classical Civilisation/ The Classical world. It will work well as the first lesson for students who are studying Classical Civilisation at GCSE. it is designed to give students a real sense of period so that they can contextualise their learning in subsequent lessons. All worksheets referred to below are included as whole slides in the .pptx file and are located at the specific point in the lesson when they are designed to be used.
The lesson begins with a discussion surrounding what ‘civilisation’ means. This is followed by a worksheet to be printed A5 size (pictured) which introduces students to the Geography of the area. It is deliberately more visual than ‘wordy’ in nature as students can stick it in and refer back to it when they need to know where Italy/Greece are in relation to the UK.
A discussion surrounding BC/BCE and AD/CE then follows in terms of interpreting dates. A timeline with empty boxes is then included for students to fill in in their books. On this timeline is already printed some famous events in history that students will probably have some prior knowledge of. The point of this excercise is to see how BC/BCE dates work (backwards) and to show the Greeks and Romans existed a long time before anything else they will have studied in History lessons. It also allows students to see that the Greeks preceded the Romans at their peak.
Another gap-fill exercise follows (with answers) which introduces students to basic information about Ancient Greece (There is no further information on Rome in this lesson as it is assumed students will progress onto a thematic study of Ancient Greece following this lesson). A video link explaining democracy is also included as a final thought for the lesson with student coming up with their own definition of democracy at the end. This will help them analyse Athens’ democracy in later lessons.

Homeric Hymn to Demeter (Journeying to the Underworld in Ancient Greece)
This lesson was designed with the 9-1 OCR GCSE Classical Civilisation spec in mind. It covers everything pupils need to know about the events portrayed in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, and aims to solidify both their knowledge of the events of the poem, and to draw out quality analysis through the inclusion of study questions, handouts (included as hidden slides for printing) and a video.
The resource is fully dual coded to reduce excess ‘noise’ - something my students are really keen on as it is clear at every point in the lessons, what the key information is that they should be focusing on. The use of dual coding also aids knowledge retention and allows pupils of all abilities to access this otherwise difficult poem.
When I taught this it fit quite neatly into 2 x 1 hour lessons, with the first lesson focusing on knowing the story of Hades’ abduction of Persephone and the roles various other characters play (i.e. Hermes, Hades, Demeter, Helios, Hecate et al.) through to the poem’s resolution.
A copy of the poem is included if you wish to use it with pupils, however key quotes with analysis are picked out on a separate handout (included as a hidden slide for printing) to aid the story-telling task in that forms the focus of the rest of the first lesson.
The second hour focuses more on analysis of the characters and their relationships with one-another - including the complex relationships and power (im)balance between humans and the gods. Study questions are included along with an exam question at the end in order that you as the teacher can assess the extent of their learning.

Orpheus and Eurydice in Ovid's Metamorphoses - Journeying to the Underworld
I created this lesson for my OCR GCSE 9-1 Classical Civilisation class. It’s dual coded throughout to reduce excess ‘noise’ to ensure students know what to focus on and when, in order to aid high quality knowledge retention.
The lesson is meant to complement the counterpart ‘Journeying to the Underworld’ GCSE lesson for the ancient Greeks: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/homeric-hymn-to-demeter-journeying-to-the-underworld-in-ancient-greece-12655537
The lesson starts by introducing Ovid and Roman beliefs about the Underworld. Background is then given to students on who Orpheus is and why he is so famous in classical myth. Students are encouraged to summarise his importance themselves before moving on to a reading task.
The exam-specified version of Metamorphoses by Ovid is included as a hidden slide to be printed out for pupils, who will go through it as a class and pick out words they might struggle with to aid literacy-building and to ensure the text is accessible to all.
Students are then instructed to read through it again themselves and pick out key parts and summarise each part themselves (can be verbal, written or drawn). before attempting some exam questions so you can gain some clarity on where they are in terms of how much they have retained from the lesson.
The lesson finishes with a really good 5 minute video that summarises the story for pupils.
A final storyboard task is included should you want to extend the lesson beyond the one hour mark, or to be set as an engaging homework that helps make their learning stick.
Each slide has a pale yellow overlay to aid students with dyslexia / Irlen’s but this can be removed easily by deleting it, or its colour can be easily changed to suit your pupils’ needs.
