This is the third lesson of the Migration to Britain scheme of work and focuses on resistance to the Romans and more specifically on Queen Boudicca’s rebellion. This resource is the entire lesson on a power point and includes:
- A joke and riddle to help settle the students while they write the title and date\
- Clear smart differentiated learning objectives
- Starter- students are presented with the bust of Emperor Claudius and are asked to create the story of the bust with questions to help guide them. This activity is great for encouraging students to engage with a source and its provenance.
- Activity 1- students use the description of Boudicca by a Roman historian to create a drawing of what they think she looks like. They then look at a number of representations of her and decided which is closest to the description.
- Activity 2- in pairs, students read through the story of Boudicca’s rebellion aloud alternating paragraphs. They then analyze the story by completing the tasks on slide 8. Students test their knowledge by putting the events of the rebellion into the correct order.
- Activity 3- students are introduced to analyzing the provenance of a source and how this affects its reliability by focusing on a speech delivered by Queen Boudicca according to a Roman historian. Slide 14 is a help sheet of guiding questions for the challenge task of assessing the reliability of the source. Source 15 is a writing frame to help with the task.
- Plenary- students are presented with a flashback race on the reasons why we study migration. In teams of 3 or 4, students write down as many reasons as they can think of in 2 minutes.
- Homework. students create a comic book strip explaining the main events of Boudicca’s rebellion
