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set of 25 lessons takes an innovative approach to teaching about the Roman invasion of Britain in 55 BC, combining historical content with the development of crucial English literacy skills and evidence-based learning (EBL) techniques.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. Any upper KS2 teacher looking to bring evidence-based practices into their classroom should undoubtedly consider utilising this powerful set of lessons.
