GCSE Ancient History - full course!

This resource contains all lessons and resources needed for the entirety of OCR’s GCSE Ancient History course (The Persian Kings, Alexander the Great, The Roman Kings and Hannibal and the Second Punic War). This should be used in conjunction with the official OCR GCSE Ancient History textbook.

Resource includes:

• The Persian Kings (Cyris, Cambyses, Darius and Xerxes)
• Alexander the Great (upbringing and character, campaigns, tactics and the Macedonian Army)
• Roman Kings (The Legendary Kings, The Etruscan Kings, Origins of the Republic, Securing the Republic)
• Hannibal and the Second Punic War (origins of the Second Punic War, Hannibal’s Leadership, the Changing Nature of Rome’s Response to Hannibal, How Rome defeated Carthage)
• All prescribed sources
• Challenge and extension materials
• ‘Lesson snapshots’ for guidance (even for beginners in the subject)

Note: the unit on the Roman Kings was exceptionally difficult for my students and so this was tackled with a much more guided approach (hence the lack of PowerPoints for this unit), utilising a combination of source discussion and the textbook.
