Timelines: Britain from Stone Age to Norman Conquest

A set of three sequencing activities to help develop chronological knowledge of British history (and ability to order events into order). Covers Stone Age to Iron Age Britain; Roman Britain; Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. Each resource is based on a range of twenty events and follow the same format. There are three different variants to provide support or challenge, but all are based on the same approach. This is where the events are listed alphabetically -with their approximate dates- and students need to sort them into chronological order -using the outline sheet provided. This means that they are suitable for adaptive teaching, by providing degrees of scaffolding whilst keeping the content the same. The main activity is where the events are arranged in groups of five (each of the four different sets in order so that the ‘blank’ timeline is filled from oldest to newest) -there are blank sheets to help with the sequencing. For greater challenge there is a version with the events organised into two groups of ten events. For support there is an outline timeline table with the dates already provided, students need to match the correct events to the date. (The correct order of each set of ten events is provided!) This resource is suitable for use in class as well as ideal for homework / independent study. Stone Age to Iron Age: c6,000 BCE ( Britain becoming physically separated from Europe ) 43 AD (Roman invasion ) Roman Britain: from 43AD (successful invasion) to 410 AD (when appeal to Rome for help turned down). Anglo-Saxon and Viking era England : from 449 CE (the traditional date for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in England) to 1066 CE (the end of Anglo-Saxon England following the Norman invasion and victory at Hastings).
