This fun and interactive lesson looks at the story of Queen Boudica’s Rebellion. The main activity is a card sort is designed to help students understand the key events and chronology surrounding the life if Queen Boudica. The information in the card sort is designed to run along side any main stream text book or video clip on her story, but I have also provided a detailed PowerPoint to accompany the card sort. I originally designed this activity as a starter / plenary for my lower ability Year 7 students studying the Roman Empire, but I have written the information cards so that could be easily accessed by lower ability students at KS2. I have also uploaded it into Word document so you can differentiate it further if you need to suit the individual needs of your students. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a PowerPoint with 14 slides and a single page Word document which includes a learning objective and fourteen cards to be cut out and sorted chronologically. I would advise that students feedback their results before sticking them into their book. The Powerpoint includes aims, objectives, information slides, tasks, activities, historical sources and video links. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: Roman Britain Know: What happened during Boudica’s Rebellion in AD 60 Understand: Why the Iceni rose up against the Romans?
