History/Art: Pop-Up Card of an Ancient Building

There are some creative based AQA accreditations which are ideal for engaging students in academic topics they may find daunting… History in this case.
For my SEN students (aged 11-14), this AQA [Ref 106984 MAKING A MODEL OF AN ANCIENT BUILDING] led to a useful couple of lessons which garnered positive engagement when it came to history fact finding online.

I would recommend finding a specific history based website for searching information from as student led Google searches often present the required information before a website is even accessed. As a result, you may not acquire quality reading and research time for your students. Also, ensure the students doesn’t get too settled on a building which cannot be categorised as ‘ancient’. Ancient history covers all continents inhabited by humans between 3000BC and AD500. In introduction on the Ancient Wonders of The World with a displayed timeline may help students to visualise the age of a building.

I hope this step by step guide proves helpful for completing all criteria on the AQA and indeed other accreditations such as ASDAN History short course challenges. Please note, I will be uploading resources I have designed specifically for achieving ASDAN short course challenges.
