This history course has been designed by the Schools History Project for the national curriculum in England. It covers three study units for the revised curriculum, including: (1) the Roman Empire as a study of an era or turning point in European history before 1914; (2) Medieval Realms as a statutory unit; and (3) Islamic Civilizations as a study of a past non-European society. The teacher's resource book offers introductory notes on important issues relating to the revised national curriculum with planning notes to provide a balanced historical experience and a formative and summative assessment. Detailed notes on teaching strategies and step-by-step guidance on how to use the activities and questions in the pupils' book is also included. Worksheets to support the activities and questions in the pupil's book can be used in class or as homework. (EH)
