This lesson is part of a scheme of lessons I created to try and fill a gap in the OCR Ancient History GCSE available resources. I felt like this is quite a complex era in Roman history and the resources that exist are complicated too - leading to cognitive overload for many of my students.

This lesson is completely dual coded and my students loved it because it is clear and succinct and reduces cognitive load. It tells the story of the how the Plebeians and the Patricians argument with each other at the beginning of Rome’s new Republican era was attempted to be solved - and how this attempt at being solved was hijacked by a few Patricians unwilling to cede any power to the Plebeians.

On each slide are pertinent questions posed to students that they can answer verbally or in writing and are great for AfL - summative and formative depending on how you want to use them. There’s a 6 mark exam question to finish off the lesson for those teaching the OCR Ancient History GCSE.

Even if you aren’t teaching the OCR AH GCSE, I’d argue this is probably the clearest and easiest to understand overview of the challenges and details of the First and Second Decemvirates (and the 12 Tables that were the product of both) that exists at the moment - it’s why I made the lesson because there was hardly anything accessible out there for me and my students…

There is also a summary video clip at the start to tell the story so far and a video clip included at the end so students can recap their learning.

Thanks for taking a look!

Handouts are included as hidden slides to be printed off and videos are included to help make learning stick at various suitable points throughout each lesson. These lessons have been made as a result of me trying to find an engaging way to promote this difficult-to-access part of this course - giving character and background to each figure - making them into a character wherever possible to ensure pupils can remember each historical figure. Exam practice questions are also included in every lesson. Thanks for taking a look :)
