This 15 slide Year 7 History lesson sequence introduces students to the social structure and daily life of Ancient Greece. The resource helps students analyse who held power, how different groups lived, and whose experiences are visible or missing in the historical record. The first section (slides 1–8) builds core knowledge. It opens with an inquiry question asking who held power in Ancient Greece and how we know. Students examine citizens, women, enslaved people, metics, soldiers, and children, each explored through roles, lived experience, and surviving evidence. The sequence includes a slide addressing whose voices are missing and why. The section closes with a synthesis slide drawing together what the evidence reveals about inequality, identity, and daily experience. The second section (slides 9–15) provides a bank of learning activities for teachers to use across multiple lessons. Each activity slide includes a clear student task, a suggested timeframe, and a brief teacher note on purpose and differentiation. The activity bank includes source analysis, discussion and debate, creative and divergent thinking, structured writing, and additional tasks such as ranking social groups, perspective‑taking, retrieval starters, self‑assessment prompts, and exit tickets. The transferable skill is social structure analysis; Ancient Greece is the vehicle.
