Stone Age to Iron Age Britain : Developing chronological awareness- activities

(0)
A set of linked resources and activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding especially of the chronology of Ancient British history. These resources are designed specifically to help students in particular with the ordering of events. To help with improving knowledge there are two activities which involve matching events to dates. The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each event is on a separate ‘card’ from its date (organised in sets of 10). The second is a set of ‘domino cards’ to provide a more supported matching challenge; these feature the same events and each ‘card’ links to another forming a ‘domino’ like chain. There is also a sheet with the events -which can be used to help identify the different time periods.

Stone Age to Iron Age Britain : Developing chronological awareness- Power point

(0)
A resource designed specifically to help students in particular with the ordering of events. This version focuses on Ancient British history.To help with understanding the passage of time there is a power point presentation that shows the intervals between events. This has a range of selected events and is designed to convey a sense of the passage of time by having the transition between slides vary in length depending on how many years actually passed between events. Each slide has a date, event and appropriate illustration. (Each event slide is on show for five seconds and the whole presentation lasts for approximately six minutes). As a bonus there is also a ‘click through’ version of the slide show to enable the teacher to give additional information or discuss the event with students. The selection of events is not meant to be definitive for the study of that period (it’s a selection not a comprehensive timeline!) – this allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out.

(0)
A set of word searches and associated sorting activity to help develop knowledge of migration to the British Isles –both individuals born abroad and nationalities that have provided many migrants to Britain over the centuries. Has twenty of each of a range of individuals and nationalties… Word search and mini quiz combined A more challenging version of the always popular activity (even for adults!) There is a set of four different word searches – two on individuals , two on nationalities. However before finding the ten people or nationalities events you have to use the clue to work out who the person or nationality it is that you are searching for. Each word search & quiz comes in three different versions (the answers are the same each time); providing different levels of support/difficulty. Each quiz has the same clues but one has the first letter of the answer; one has the number of letters in the answer and one has both the first letter and number of letters. Ideal for use as a reinforcement activity or homework task -maybe even for a staffroom challenge! P.S There is also a set of ‘traditional’ word searches featuring the same people/nationalities Sorting challenge : This uses the same people/nationalities and clues as in the word searches. There is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each person or event is on a separate ‘card’ from its clue (organised in sets of 10).

Updated for Charles III This resource is a power point with a difference to support knowledge and understanding of chronology. Each slide features a picture of the monarchs of England/Britain from Alfred the Great to Charles III. Each slide appears for a varied amount of time. This helps show how much real time they reigned for – in this presentation 1 second equals 4 years (so the presentation lasts for around 5 minutes) .
