A series of lessons including student resource booklet, photocopiable worksheets and lesson plans appropriate for a Year 7 introduction to the Romans, Roman Britain and using interpretations. This series of lessons will introduce pupils to life in early Britain during the time of the Romans, including the teaching and development of basic historical skills. After an opening lesson setting out expectations, pupils will complete a baseline assessment. This will give the classroom teacher an indication of the pupils’ basic historical knowledge and writing skills. There will then be an introductory lesson on the Romans, emphasising key vocabulary associated with the Roman empire, pupils will place Roman Britain within the geographical and socio-political context of the ancient world. Pupils will then learn about chronological understanding through a lesson about timelines and the key events of Roman Britain. This will allow students to gain an understanding of the Romans influence on British History and put their influence into the context of wider British History as a whole. Lesson 5,6 and 7 will introduce pupils to the Roman Army and its importance, leading to a half term teacher assessment on ‘why was the Roman army so successful?’. In the second half term the scheme will then introduce the concept of historical interpretation through the story of Boudicca and her defeat by the Roman Army in. The final lessons will focus on the story of Boudicca and her opposition to the Romans. Following on from the lessons on Boudicca they will look at a variety of evidence to assess the ‘best’ representation of Boudicca. This links in with GCSE skills developed at KS4 through Controlled Assessment and Paper 3 Surgery. This will form the assessment for February
