Varied Pupil Activities

Children won’t simply complete page after page of comprehension questions.

Activities include:

✓ Labelling
✓ Map work
✓ Drawing and colouring
✓ Comparing historical societies
✓ Creative writing
✓ Designing artefacts
✓ Historical reasoning
✓ Timeline work
✓ Matching activities
✓ Quizzes and retrieval practice
✓ Artefact investigation

The workbook deliberately encourages children to consider historical evidence and different perspectives. For example, pupils consider why the Iliad cannot simply be treated as a modern history book and how people living in lands conquered by Alexander might have viewed him differently.
