Spartan Society to the Battle of Leuctra 371BC
The following pages will teach students of all abilities the required skills for using and analyzing sources for Stage 6 Ancient History. The sources will specifically focus on Spartan Society, although the skills are fully transferable. The process of understanding and using sources has been split into five steps, with the final step being a revision and practice of past HSC questions.
Teachers
This online source book has a variety of uses that you can adapt to your classroom. You could use it in stages, completing each Step at a specific point of your unit in order to target specific skill development that is occurring at that time. Alternatively you could present it is an activity that a student completes from start to finish, either at the beginning of a unit of work to establish requisite skills, or at the end as a summary and revision of the unit.
Students
Use the "History" drop down tabs to navigate through each step, beginning at "Step 1: Introduction to Source Analysis". My recommendation is to open a Google Drive document, label it "Spartan Society: Source Analysis Tasks" and type your answers there.
