Description
Each evidence-based learning (EBL) Roman history resource in this set is a complete lesson which uses the history curriculum as a framework through which each of the eight EBL skills can be mastered. Each resource has “mastering” one EBL skill as its central focus and all eight EBL skills are covered more than once in these lessons.
All eight EBL skills are better gained working with a partner so much of the work in these lessons is collaborative. These resources will ensure that pupils can master and use EBL skills regardless of their ability.
Each Roman history lesson will develop a single EBL skill through:
1) A “Before You Start” page that introduces the EBL skill.
2) Opportunities to master this skill during the lesson.
3) An “After You Finish” page that offers pupils the chance to evaluate their learning experience (of the lesson and the EBL skill) and to identify their next step in using the EBL skill.

An eagle-bearer is the soldier chosen to carry a legion’s gold eagle. Eagle-bearers were important during battles because they were used to communicate orders to the soldiers.
