<p>These detailed course / revision notes were specially written to give GCSE Classical Civilization students a comprehensive understanding of the key knowledge from the specification for Women in the Ancient World: OCR GCSE Classical Civilisation (9-1)</p> <ol> <li>Women of Legend</li> <li>Young Women</li> <li>Women in the home</li> <li>'Improper’ Women</li> <li>Women and religion</li> <li>Women and power</li> <li>Warrior Women</li> <li>Women to be Feared</li> </ol> <p>Each of the above is split into two sections: Greece, firstly, and then Rome.</p> <p>These extensive notes are especially useful for students whose note-taking in lesson isn’t as good as others, or whose organisational skills mean they are missing notes/handouts on certain topics / areas. These notes will certainly help reduce the time it takes them to catch up with their peers, and also students like to use these as a checklist of topics to go into in further detail. They give peace of mind that every corner of the specification/syllabus has been covered.</p> <p>These notes can be given to students to work through at their own pace, or split up and given to students as and when each part of the content is studied throughout the course. As the teacher you may find it useful to go through the notes with my students as they highlight and annotate them with anything extra you want to give them according to their level. These notes though are comprehensive and detailed and work just as well as a stand alone revision aid as they do an in-class resource.</p> <p>Hopefully these notes help to save your students (and you!) some time in the hectic run up to exams. Thanks for taking a look :)</p>

In our PYP unit; where we are in place and time, we focused on civilisations. How did they live, what was their culture like, what remained from them to us? This pack includes various activities; research homework, presentation, visuals for timeline, homework, etc.<br /> The civilisations we studied were ancient Egypt, Mayans and ancient China.

<p>A special lesson examining the similiarities and differences between mythologies from 4 ancient civilisations: Rome, Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece.<br /> The lesson begins with a discussion on what types of stories are myths and the definition of mythology. The main task of the lesson is pair work comparing two of the above mythologies (pupils are given a mythology to study, allowing some differentiation for myths you think are more/less challenging to study). The lesson ends with some plenary questions and a discussion as to why it is important to study ancient mythology.<br /> All resources needed are included.</p>

<p>I have put together some YouTube clips to help identify the traits necessary for a society to be considered a Civilisation.</p>

Lesson looking at the role of Gladiators in roman society. Pupils complete a starter/settler activity and then watch a series of horrible history clips and take notes on whether they think the Romans were civilized or not based on the role of gladiators. Videos can be found on youtube - gladiator training clip is terry jones from monty python looking at how gladiators trained is also on youtube. Pupils finish by completing a questionnaire by pretending to be a gladiator. Pupils then take part in plenary by judging how civilized they think Romans were.
