The SOW follows one of the MYP inquiries considering Ancient History. The inquiry is focused on the concept of significance and the students work with Ian Dawson’s significance criteria. The inquiry has a strong grammar and literacy focus with sentences, word classes, paragraph structure and other language features considered. All information is included in the lessons - often taken from the MYP course book but other sources have been used to flesh out the detail. I have taught this inquiry to Year 7 (British) and it is aimed at higher level students. Of course, information can be amended to meet the needs of all.
