This unit introduces you to the Early Modern Period and takes it right up to 1900.
It brilliantly asks you students to decide if they agree with historian James Collins who said that during this time Europeans ‘re-defined’ themselves.
Your students will look at the ways people’s attitudes changed, using some clever case studies.
They will consider the impact the Renaissance had on England and particularly on ordinary people.
They play snakes and ladders to decide who held power and this changed.
They discover how voyagers of exploration helped to map the world.
And they are introduced the the concept of cultural history.
