What children will practise

Put world history in order: from prehistoric ages to recorded history, ancient river-valley civilisations, major modern world events, and the steps of the historical method.

What's in the worksheet

4 ordering rounds, 4 cards each - Old Stone Age, New Stone Age, Metal Age, historical period - Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus valley, China - Industrial Revolution, World War I, World War II, founding of the United Nations - Gather evidence, check reliability, interpret, conclude and present

How to use it in class

Use in the world history unit; about 5 minutes. - For round 2, keep a world map up and have children point to the Tigris, Euphrates, Nile, Indus and Yellow rivers - For round 4, play historian, e.g. find an old photo of the school and walk through the four steps - In teams, for round 3 have teams jot approximate years on paper before ordering - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Round 2: the prompt says order by location, but the keyed order does not follow a compass direction; Egypt lies west of Mesopotamia, so children ordering west to east will be marked wrong; the keyed order roughly matches when each civilisation arose, oldest first, so tell the class beforehand to order them by age, or skip the round, and do not treat a child who ordered by direction as wrong - Round 1: Metal Age and New Stone Age may be swapped by children who do not know stone tools came before metal - Round 4: checking reliability and interpreting are easily swapped; stress that you must know evidence is genuine before interpreting it
