Lesson Planning

Collaborate to create a poster presentation that links the work of an ancient scholar/early work, within a specific discipline, with modern-day understanding.

Teaching Outcomes:

• To recognise similarities or themes in the work of ancient scholars and how they relate to modern knowledge and understanding.
• To collaborate with others to plan and create a group presentation.

Children will:

• Attempt to identify common themes within the work of early Islamic scholars.
• Identify their own success criteria for a poster presentation.
• Collaborate in groups of 2 or 3 to research the chosen presentation theme, using web and paper-based sources; then plan a poster presentation that links the work of an ancient scholar/work with modern-day understanding in that discipline.
• Carefully choose how to present information and ideas to showcase both ancient and contemporary understanding.
