Description

This comprehensive set of 25 lessons takes an innovative approach to teaching about the Roman invasion of Britain in 55 BC, combining historical content with the development of crucial English literacy skills and evidence-based learning (EBL) techniques. Designed specifically for upper KS2 students in years 5 and 6, the lessons deftly interweave these three components for a rich, cross-curricular learning experience.

On the history front, students will gain a deep understanding of Julius Caesar’s motives, strategies, and the pivotal events surrounding his attempted invasion of Britain. From exploring the might of the Roman army to analysing Caesar’s personal ambitions, the lessons bring this era vividly to life through dramatic accounts and primary source evidence.

Simultaneously, the lessons provide ample practice for core English skills like reading comprehension, writing recounts/reports/letters, summarizing, and more. Students engage in activities that have them analysing texts, articulating ideas, and working collaboratively – all while building their historical knowledge.

However, what truly sets this resource apart is its intentional integration of evidence-based learning (EBL) techniques proven to boost academic achievement. Each lesson gradually builds one fundamental EBL skill through purposeful scaffolding and activities. These include:

– Collaborative learning

– Independent learning 

– Metacognition/Self-regulation

– Peer teaching

– Self-assessment

– Peer assessment

– Thinking skills (Bloom’s Taxonomy)

By mastering competencies like self-assessment, thinking strategies, and peer collaboration, students gain invaluable tools for lifelong learning success across all subjects.

The lessons themselves are described as creative, engaging, and substantive – using amusing narrative hooks, hands-on activities, and robust learning materials. Whether it’s the ‘Caesar’s Dog Goes on Holiday’ lesson or exploring ‘Roman Warships’, students will be captivated while levelling up their skills.

With a holistic approach that makes cross-curricular connections, develops vital EBL techniques, and immerses students in the fascinating historical context, the ‘Mastering EBL Skills Through the Romans’ series emerges as an exemplary teaching resource highly recommended across all 25 five-star reviews.

    Julius Caesar is crossing the English Channel to invade Britain. This lesson looks at the problems that Caesar had when he and his ships arrived at Dover on the Kent coast in 55 BC. 

    Firstly, an army of Britons were waiting on the cliff tops for him and his ships, so Caesar had to move along the coastline to find another beach to land his soldiers on.

    Secondly, Caesar was unaware that the sea around the Kent coast was deep because the tide was in. This was going to cause him more problems as his soldiers would have to jump off their ships into deep water.

    As well as English and history skills the Evidence-Based Learning skills developed in this lesson include collaborative learning and thinking skills. This lesson also offers pupils the opportunity to master self-assessment.

    When Caesar first arrived at the Kent coast in 55 BC and was ready to land his troops on the beach his soldiers refused to leave their ships because they had to jump into deep water. One soldier, an eagle-bearer, persuaded the other soldiers to jump into the deep water. 

    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. When the eagle-bearer told the soldiers to jump into the water during Caesar’s invasion, they all obeyed him and he saved the day. 

    As well as English and history skills the Evidence-Based Learning skills developed in this lesson include collaborative learning and metacognition. This lesson also offers pupils the opportunity to master peer teaching.
