A-Level (KS5) Greek

A-Level (KS5) Ancient History

Classics for All have commisioned the excellent Matt Hudson from Nelson & Colne College to help create a suite of teaching resources based on his own teaching notes. Look out for resources on the Greek and Roman Period Studies, the Politics and Culture of Athens, and Ruling Roman Britain coming this summer.

‘Getting started in ancient history’ available in the JACT Ancient History Notes on the Teachers’ section of the ARLT website(free log-in required from ARLT for teachers). Info.

AIE resources illustrate the relevance of ancient Athenian inscriptions, especially those of the classical period (the fifth and fourth centuries BC, c. 500-300 BC), to pre-18 education in the UK and beyond. They aim to support teachers who wish to introduce inscriptions into their teaching as a way of captivating their students’ imagination and fostering enthusiasm for the ancient Greek world.

These resources, consisting of teachers’ notes and slides for classes, underline the textual and visual potential of inscriptions for those engaged with learning about ancient Greek history and civilisation. The idea of an inscription being carved and read “in real life” is a way of fostering the curiosity of students about the past. Accordingly, through inscriptions, learners benefit from the bringing to life of the ancient world, perhaps in a way that helps it seem less abstract and initially less complicated. At the same time, they hope that introducing students at pre-18 level to inscriptions will encourage them to explore ancient source material of their own accord, and will help them to ‘bridge the gap’ into University study if they chose to pursue it. In their Introduction to AIE for Teachers resource you will find more ideas about using inscriptions in the classroom. They also offer a set of slides which introduce learners of all ages to Greek inscriptions: see Introduction to ancient Athenian inscriptions.
