A set of resources to develop knowledge and understanding of Roman Britain with a focus on developing chronological knowledge and understanding.
There is a power point presentation with a range of significant developments/events from 43 to 410AD - run through version gives an indication of the passage of time.

In addition there is a set of word searches and quizzes combined to further develop knowledge and understanding of these events/developments (in various versions with differing levels of support).
There is also a timeline based sequencing task featuring the same events.
There are also map based tasks on Roman towns and roads (again with support versions) -that also have basic word searches as well.
Finally there is a set of colouring pages with illustrations of Roman times (from 19th century).

A simple sequencing activity to help develop chronological knowledge.
There is a list of events with dates -but events are listed alphabetically- and a blank table to enter the information into (so students need to sequence the dates first). There is also a support version which has the dates in order so students need to find the corresponding event.
The events are mostly those which feature in the linked resources on developing chronological understanding including the power point.
