ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

This webinar will examine the key areas for focus when teaching Greek Theatre, and strategies for successfully onboarding the critical knowledge and understanding. It will consider the importance of the visual materials, and how students can embed them into their ‘comparative’ 20 mark essays.

One of the biggest challenges for many teachers in the new Classical Civilisation A level has been the requirement to deploy secondary sources and scholars. This webinar will address this concern directly, providing you with advice about how to incorporate modern scholarship. There will also be an analysis of how the papers have been marked and the elements necessary for examination success.

Join examiner and Head of Department Ben, who will also examine exemplar materials, considering the question “what makes a successful 30 mark Greek Theatre essay?” and helping you to apply the key principles covered in the webinar.
