Civilisations have developed over time and space evolving into modern day societies. This is a collection of video clips I put together to introduce this unit. I would also begin with a map of the area. How do we define a civilisation? - I have already added my unit to introduce this. What were the significant stages in our evolution toward modern day societies? Was the evolution of society inevitable? Are our modern societies better? How do our religious systems, health practices, social organisation (includes leadership) and communications of today compare to civilisations of the past?

These detailed course / revision notes were specially written to give GCSE Classical Civilization students a comprehensive understanding of the key knowledge from the specification for Women in the Ancient World: OCR GCSE Classical Civilisation (9-1) Women of Legend Young Women Women in the home 'Improper’ Women Women and religion Women and power Warrior Women Women to be Feared Each of the above is split into two sections: Greece, firstly, and then Rome. These extensive notes are especially useful for students whose note-taking in lesson isn’t as good as others, or whose organisational skills mean they are missing notes/handouts on certain topics / areas. These notes will certainly help reduce the time it takes them to catch up with their peers, and also students like to use these as a checklist of topics to go into in further detail. They give peace of mind that every corner of the specification/syllabus has been covered. These notes can be given to students to work through at their own pace, or split up and given to students as and when each part of the content is studied throughout the course. As the teacher you may find it useful to go through the notes with my students as they highlight and annotate them with anything extra you want to give them according to their level. These notes though are comprehensive and detailed and work just as well as a stand alone revision aid as they do an in-class resource. Hopefully these notes help to save your students (and you!) some time in the hectic run up to exams. Thanks for taking a look :)
