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.

Invade Your Classroom with This Multifaceted Roman Lesson
Looking to conquer multiple curriculum areas with one engaging lesson? Then let me introduce the “Even More Problems for Caesar” resource – a brilliant way to teach literacy, history, and evidence-based learning skills in one go.
This lesson for Upper KS2 students in Years 5 and 6 takes a close look at the five key mistakes made by Julius Caesar during his famous invasion of Britain in 55 BC. From sending out an ill-advised scout ship to choosing the wrong beach and being unaware of Britain’s tricky tides, students will gain invaluable historical insights.
But the learning doesn’t stop there! By having students write a recount of the invasion from a Briton’s perspective, the lesson develops solid English skills like:
– Writing in the first person and past tense
– Using paragraphs to order events chronologically
– Including key recount details like who, what, where, and when
On top of that, the lesson provides ample opportunities to practise important evidence-based learning techniques. Students engage in collaborative partner work and get to master the skill of self-assessment by evaluating their own recount writing against a rubric.
With helpful scaffolding along the way, “Even More Problems for Caesar” is a stellar example of spiralling multiple subjects into one cohesive, substantive lesson. I’d give it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for its creative cross-curricular approach! It’s the 17th lesson in a 25-part set exploring the ancient Roman invasion.
