Teaching the abstract concept of legacy
This History teacher skills video supports teaching the abstract concept of legacy by guiding pupils to evaluate the lasting impact of the Roman Empire on Britain. It explores key Roman contributions such as numerals, central heating, sewage systems, and Christianity. The video encourages pupils to compare life before and after the Roman conquest and reflect on which Roman legacies are still significant today.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s History skills resources. It equips teachers with strategies to help children analyse change over time and assess historical influence through critical thinking and comparison.
