Course Description
This course concentrates on part 2 of the Ancient History core: The nature of sources and evidence.
Participants will be provided with a portfolio of copyright-free sources to use in their classroom.
The course will examine the wealth of sources available for all the aspects of life in Pompeii and Herculaneum listed in the syllabus.
As well as providing strategies for investigating the types of sources available, we will also demonstrate a simple but effective scaffold for your students to use to analyse, evaluate and choose the best sources to use. This process can also be used when studying the other parts of the core.
Audience
