Summer Assignment

Here are some taster sessions and some zoom videos I recorded to go with them. Have a go at the two worksheets attached using the videos for help.

They give you an introduction into the history elements of the course (Democracy and the Athenians and Imperial Image) and start to give you an idea of the sorts of things we will be learning about next year.
