QCA

Objectives
Children should learn:
  • to produce an overview of key aspects of Islamic civilisation 600-1600
  • to consider the significance of the main events, people and changes studied

Activities

Outcomes
Children:
  • Tell pupils that they have been commissioned by the editors of a new internet encyclopedia to produce several linked web pages devoted to Islamic civilisation 600-1600. The editors say that they want the web pages to describe key features of Islamic civilisation and to explain why this is an important aspect of world history.
  • Pupils must review their work so far and select and organise relevant and significant information. There is room for only one picture and they must choose a single image that encapsulates the achievement of this huge period in history and justify the choice made.
  • select, organise and use relevant information to produce a structured overview account of Islamic civilisation 600-1600
  • select and explain significant events, people, changes from Islamic civilisation

Points to note
  • This activity can be used to develop ICT abilities. Pupils will need to discuss the aspects of Islamic civilisation they would portray and design the linked web pages appropriately.
