Roman Introduction 2: The Rise of the Romans

Second of two well presented and active lessons introducing the Romans (buy the bundle, it works out 2 for 1).

• Numeracy/Liteacy/Historical thinking settler (I use these as a standard settler - works a treat once they’re in a routine).
• Context slide (I like to have a tiny bit of teacher talk - just to set the scene and link today;s learning to what they’ve already done)
• Roman Chronology card sort (in the resources on the ppt.)
• Kagan style ‘be the teacher’ activity - what were the factors behind the rise of Rome? 4 factors, 4 initial groups, then students spin off into new groups of 4 including an expert in each factor - they teach themselves.
• Prioritisation task in paris and then fours.
• Paragraph writing task
• Literacy support mat including in resources.

Hope it helps!
