<p>Whole class guided reading planning for Romans on the Rampage by Jeremy Strong. There are 6 weeks worths of planning. All lessons have 1 PowerPoint and 1 worksheet. This guided reading planning uses ‘Reading Vipers’ for each lesson. Each week focuses on 1 reading viper. This was taught in Year 3 but could easily be adapted for Year 4.</p> <p>Each lesson’s structure is as follows:</p> <ol> <li>A think about it question</li> <li>Vocab with word classes</li> <li>Teacher reads</li> <li>Speed retrieval</li> <li>Independent reading</li> <li>Main task (linked to reading viper)</li> </ol>

<p>This outstanding lesson has been refined and field tested by experienced teachers. It is designed to help students assess which factors played a crucial role in the collapse of the Roman Empire. This resource is suitable for the full ability range and is a great way of rounding of a course with a fun and engaging activity which can be used as the focus for an assessment or extended piece of writing.</p> <p>The lesson opens with either a snowballing or buzz and go starter. It then sets the scene for the decline of the Empire and looks at the roles played by internal civil wars, climate change, inflation, declining population, the Roman Army and the Barbarian invasions, in it’s final collapse. This is then followed up with a card sort activity and a possible thinking skills review triangle which can then be used by students to help write an extended piece of writing.</p> <p>When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a single page word document and as well as a thirteen slide PowerPoint. The worksheet includes aims, instructions, six heading cards and fourteen statements that can be sorted under them as part of the main activity. The PowerPoint includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, templates, information slides, historical sources to support the lesson. Please see the detailed preview that I have uploaded.</p> <p>The aims and objectives of this lesson are:</p> <p>Theme: The Roman Empire<br /> Know: Why factors caused the collapse of the Roman Empire?<br /> Understand: Why were the Barbarians forced to migrate into the Empire?<br /> Evaluate: Which factor was the most important?<br /> Skills: Change &amp; Continuity, Source Cause, Consequence &amp; Collaboration</p> <p>WILF – What Am I Looking For?<br /> Identify &amp; describe: The different factors which caused the collapse of the Empire<br /> Explain: Why were the Barbarians forced to migrate into the Roman Empire?<br /> Analyse: Which factor was the most important?</p> <p>If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop, where many have been bundled together to provide you with further savings.

<p><strong>This lesson contains:</strong></p> <ul> <li>A starter to consider two images of Rome and consider what has happened to Rome in between them, and why.</li> <li>A background into the problems the Roman Empire was facing. Students watch a brief YouTube video for context and then use the sources sheet provided to complete questions on the board to evidence the different problems the Romans faced (i.e. invasion, corruption, less food to feed the people etc.)</li> <li>A task to study a series of events in the fall of Rome on the info cards provided. Students put the cards in order then complete the timeline. The point here is to write in each event higher or lower, according to the axis, depending on whether each even had a minor, some, major or devastating effect on Rome, giving students an opportunity to make a judgement as they set up the timeline. They can extend this by colour-coding the events that came from inside Rome, and those form outside, to provide for a discussion.</li> <li>A background of the Empire after the fall, including the survival of the Eastern Empire. Students then do a plenary to discuss a quote from Dan Snow about the main reason for the fall. Students argue for or against Dan Snow’s view, using evidence from the lesson.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Attachments</strong></p> <ul> <li>1 x Powerpoint Presentation</li> <li>3 x Publisher Files</li> </ul>
