Significant Explorers - Christopher Columbus Lesson!
Significant Explorers - Introduction Lesson!
This engaging and purposeful series of lessons helps to equip children with a secure understanding of different explorers from across history.
Each of the lessons are extremely comprehensive (I initially taught them over two lessons each) and are guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation. The lessons included are:
- Introduction to Explorers
- Christopher Columbus
- Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay
- Amelia Earhart
- Neil Armstrong
- Comparing Explorers
Throughout the series of lessons, children gain an understanding of how context, technology and attitudes have changed the role of explorers over time.
Knowledge recall activities, think pair share, and a blend of group and independent activities are features of the unit. All of the worksheets, activities and templates needed to teach the lessons are provided.
In the past, I have used these resources with children in lower KS2 (higher attaining years 3 and 4) but they could easily be used with upper KS2 - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for KS2 history. All images are licensed for commercial use.
