Write your own Roman story - Beth Brooke

The This is History series is the Schools History Project's radical new Key Stage 3 scheme of work for National Curriculum history. Through a combination of in-depth and overview units it seeks to offer a varied, relevant and challenging diet for the whole Key Stage 3 history programme of study.

This resource for teachers accompanies the Pupil's Book Write Your Own Roman Story, which aims to make Year 7 pupils good story writers as well as experts in what everyday life was like in the Roman Empire. Readers are taken step-by-step through the process of writing good historical fiction, so that they can write a story that is readable and interesting but which is also historically well-informed. This Teacher's Resource Book provides support, as well as an ICT database exercise looking at the reasons for the decline of the Roman Empire.
