If you have a top set class or want to extend your students by looking at historical interpretations, then you can go for the source analysis lesson on the causes of the rebellion which does a full NOP lesson on the different interpretations of Tacitus and Dio Cassius. Whatever lesson you opt for, they have all been made to a high standard and have been field tested and finely tuned over many years in the classroom by our team of committed history teachers. If you like these resources then why not check out our TES shop, where you can find similar resources that have been bundled to provide you with further savings. You can also follow ‘The History Academy on Facebook and YouTube for the latest updates or even to get in touch and chat about how you have used this resource or to ask questions. We aim to produce resources for the price of a good cup of coffee so that you can spend more time doing the things that you want. However, we do not compromise our values and pay all our contributors the living wage for their work. Kind Regards Roy
