Romans Unit of Planning

A fully resourced 10 lesson unit on the Romans and their impact on Britain. The lessons are done as mini enquiry questions with 5 questions and a review lesson at the end of the unit. This has been created for mixed 3/4 classes but can easily be adapted to be used across Key Stage 2.

The questions are as follows with the approximate amount of lessons in brackets:
EQ1 - What was happening in Britain before the Romans arrived? (1 lesson)
EQ2 - Why did the Romans find Britain difficult to conquer? (2.5 - 3 lessons)
EQ3 - Did everyone give the Romans the same welcome? (2 lessons)
EQ4 - What impact did the Romans have on Britain? (2 lessons)
EQ5 - How did Roman rule end in Britain? (1 lesson)
Review lesson

Included is a booklet format that includes all the questions, all the supporting information required and the activities linked to this. These can easily be separated into mini booklets per question or the activities can be taken out to suit how you teach history in your school. As much as possible, images, models and diagrams have been used to make the information as accessible as possible to refer back to following discussions. Each question also has key vocabulary and recap questions as well (the first lesson links to our previous unit of Ancient Greece so can be easily adapted) and finishes with the enquiry question to support written outcomes in history.

Each enquiry question also has a PowerPoint that includes the information and diagrams from the booklet as well as any additional notes etc.

There is also a knowledge summary organiser - these can be sent home to show what they are learning about as well as being used in class as a succinct way of accessing the key information from the lesson.

All the resources have been uploaded as PowerPoints so that you can easily adapt them to suit your setting.
