Lesson Planning

Understand about the end of the Greek Empire; create a 3D ‘timeline’ of artefacts which is made of pots and includes information from each time period; invite other children to view the timeline.

Teaching Outcomes:

• To research and understand more about the experiences of the Greeks during the period from 300-30BCE, particularly the death of Alexander the Great and the emergence of the Roman Empire.
• To collate and display clay pots together, creating a 3D ‘timeline’ of ‘artefacts’, including information from each time period.
• Act as curators and experts, hosting guests to view the artefacts.

Children will:

• Understand more about the experiences of the Greeks during the period from 300-30BCE, particularly the death of Alexander the Great and the emergence of the Roman Empire.
• Understand how Greek pottery can form a 3D ‘timeline’ of ‘artefacts’ and can talk about each time period as curators and experts.
