0This History lesson is enormous, and children often end up being confused. They would have read the whole lesson but wouldn't know the topics they need to focus on. Hence mind maps would be required while learning such lessons. Here are a few examples of how I would go about teaching this lesson. It would be a combination of various teaching methodologies.
