Year 7 History Scheme of Work (Overview)

1 Year 7 History Scheme of Work (Overview) Students in Year 7 begin their studies in History with an examination of life in Britain before This begins with a study of the Neolithic Revolution and its importance in the long-term history of the British Isles. They then combine this with a local study to consider life on Merseyside prior to the Norman invasion. Following on from this, students are taught about the causes and consequences of the Norman invasion before considering the important events, issues and people in medieval Britain. In addition, students are taught about Liverpool s medieval history and this focus study looks at the original medieval city of Liverpool, why it was granted a charter and why a castle was built in Liverpool in the 13th century. The medieval period is followed up with a study of the Tudor and Stuart period. Students are taught about the main events, issues and people and there is a focus on how the power of the monarchy changed in this period. We then focus on another local history study in which we consider how much Liverpool changed in the Tudor and Stuart periods and look at the establishment and importance of the world s first permanent wet dock in Liverpool in the early 18th century. This gives the students a good foundation for our final topic of the year, Britain and the African Slave Trade.
