This afternoon, Miss Mead’s class discovered who Alexander the Great is and why he had such importance in the Ancient Greek time period.

Firstly, we began with a discussion about who Alexander the Great/what he did by using our historian skills to examine sources. We then constructed a timeline of key events in Alexander the Great’s life – the children had to order the events and match them to the correct images.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, the children worked in small groups to create their own PowerPoint based one one achievement of Alexander the Great. We began to answer these questions:

1. When did this achievement happen?

2. Why and how did Alexander the Great complete his achievement?

3. What were the consequences of this happening?

4. What impact did this have on other countries? Positive or negative?

5. How did it impact on civilisation?

6. Did it have an impact upon Ancient Greece?

Children will continue their PowerPoints during the next history lesson.
