Because history needs a little creativity sometimes...
Please note that this planning is intended for my OWN school but can be used as a basis for your own planning, free of charge.
Set A is the most up-to-date version of this unit having reflected on the planning of Set B below. Both sets of planning focus on the impact of the Ancient Greeks, their achievements, who THEY were influenced by Greek culture and daily life. This planning comes with a number of supporting PowerPoints and worksheets for most lessons and also comes with an Enquiry Framework document showing how each lesson fits together to answer the main statement about the topic, helping to keep it coherent and purposeful. There is also a rationale for the enquiry and alternative questions/statements that could be used or tweaked. Also included is a 'Crib Sheet' to make notes about the core information needed for the end of unit assessment, highlighting the key aspects of learning from this unit. A new addition are the Knowledge Reminder sheets that can be stuck in for each lesson which reminds children of the key learning from the main input to aide memory retention and to help make them more independent during the lessons.
This planning is detailed but more refined than Set B and includes subject knowledge within the planning, which is sometimes replicated (but simplified) on the accompanying resources for the children to learn and use. This set is probably more useful if you are studying the Greeks for a half term rather than a full term.
I am happy to send the resources to accompany this planning, just send a message using the form through the Contact page stating which set of planning (Set A, Set B or Both) and an email address. A GoogleDrive link will be sent to you to access these resources, so please check your inbox, spam and junk folders shortly after sending your email.

Set B is essentially identical to Set A apart from a few tweaks to a few lessons:
L1 - the chronology in Set B includes more on the earliest Greeks
L3 - the number of Greek achievements is greater and requires more time to study them and more for the children to think about
L5 - Set B's version of Alexander the Great's empire focuses more on the entire empire itself and has a different task
This set is probably more suitable if you are studying the Greeks for an entire term rather than just half a term, or if you are able to accommodate more than just an hour to most lessons. Like Set A, it includes the Enquiry Framework with rationales, the crib sheet for the children to stick in and all of the accompanying resources which I can send.
This planning is VERY detailed and includes a whole host of subject knowledge within the planning, which is often replicated (but simplified) on the accompanying resources for the children to learn and use.
