Working on the principle that a happy pupil will learn more than a bored one, these resources have been carefully created to enthuse and engage pupils of all abilities.

These new, exciting and innovative resources offer a variety of interesting tasks that will inspire, challenge and entertain pupils across the entire ability range. These resources are aimed specifically at the OCR GCSE course, but they are suitable for any similar course for 14 to 16 years old. For example, there is plenty of overlap with the AQA GCSE course. Pack 1 covers the five Green 'Civilisation' topics. Pack 2 covers the give Roman 'Civilisation' topics.

These resources are all 'pupil-friendly': they are all tasks that the pupils will enjoy. They will inspire the pupils and encourage debate and discussion among them. I have addressed, where possible, the eight intelligence's, and so some of the exercises may appear, perhaps, a little unconventional.

These resources were developed to fill part of the vacuum left by the lack of a Classical Civilisation textbook. I have produced a set of classroom and homework tasks that the teacher will be able to use alongside his, or her, more traditional 'fact-based' lessons.

Some of the sheets have instructions and, where applicable, answers attached, others are quite straightforward and need no 'blurb'. Some exercises can lead to several different 'correct' answers. This is quite deliberate, as it will lead to a lively debate amongst your pupils!
