Each question also has key vocabulary and recap questions as well (the first lesson links to our previous unit of Ancient Greece so can be easily adapted) and finishes with the enquiry question to support written outcomes in history.
Each enquiry question also has a PowerPoint that includes the information and diagrams from the booklet as well as any additional notes etc.
