Ancient Greeks - Unit Assessment

The Year 3 History unit assessment on the Ancient Greeks is a comprehensive evaluation of students' knowledge about this significant ancient civilisation. The assessment includes a variety of question types designed to test students' understanding of the historical context, cultural achievements, and lasting impact of the Ancient Greeks. True or false questions challenge students to consider the timeline of Greek and Roman power, while multiple-choice questions delve into the concept of democracy, a pivotal contribution of Greek society to the world. Other questions explore the two dominant city-states of the era, the Spartans and Athenians, asking students to identify their characteristics and differences.

The assessment also encourages students to think critically about historical evidence and how we come to know about past civilisations. It asks them to select the correct sources of information, such as the role of archaeologists and artefacts in reconstructing history. The quiz touches upon the Ancient Greek Olympics, encouraging students to draw parallels between ancient and modern events. Furthermore, students are asked to match Greek gods with their domains, reflecting on the rich mythology of the period. Questions on daily life, such as typical Greek breakfast foods and Spartan traits, provide a glimpse into the everyday experiences of this ancient society. Finally, the assessment asks students to reflect on the importance of written evidence, such as artefacts and architecture, in understanding and piecing together the history of Ancient Greece.
