History Review 1st ESO – Syllabus. History is one of the most exciting topics for students of all ages, and although it is already introduced in primary school with topics such as prehistory, it is when ESO is reached that it is touched on in depth, so we are going to do a review to students who go to the first year and in this way, be able to better prepare the subject to do homework or also to study for exams.
The history subject is quite extensive so that to make a good review of it, we want to offer you the topics that are covered when you reach the first year of ESO, so that you can review all of them correctly. In this way, you will see each topic, a brief overview of what it is about and also a link for a broader review.
Prehistory and archaeology: Paleolithic, Neolithic and Metal Age
The prehistory is the first of the topics that is given in the subject of History of 1st ESO, so that students can know what were the changes that produced the various stages or phases of prehistory, such as the most important economic, social and religious changes that occurred in the passage from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic and from here to the Metal Ageand also that characterized each period.
First civilizations; Mesopotamia and Egypt
As a result of the age of metals, the first civilizations arise, so that we find ancient Mesopotamia, which, like ancient Egypt, is part of the main syllabus for students in 1st ESO, so we want you to review things like for instance, why the Egyptians settled on the Nile and how important agriculture was to them.
Also within this topic, ESO 1st students can learn and review, how did the writing come aboutwhat were its consequences, and also how it developed and what the invention of the wheel meant, or when sailing is discovered.
The first civilizations also implies the existence of first social pyramid so that students can also learn as established, what types of social groups or populations already existed in Mesopotamia (kings, high officials, merchants, soldiers, scribes, underprivileged groups, peasants, artisans, servants, slaves, etc…) Or they can also learn how Egyptian society was established and what influence or importance the presence of Egyptians had on it. Egyptian gods.
Classical Civilizations: Greece
Greece is perhaps one of the most extensive topics within the subject of history for 1st ESO students. The students thus begin to know how the divisions were divided. copswhich was how Greek society was established, which in fact through its geography and how it was distributed had a lot of influence on its development and evolution and also had several consequences with regard to the political organization.
1st ESO students learn in this topic what was the athenian direct democracyso it is possible or may be a good idea for you to compare it with today’s representative democracy in your review.
On the other hand, the theme of Greece also helps students to get to know some of the prominent figures of the time, such as, for example, Socrates, Leonidas or Alexander the Great and also some specific historical facts, such as the Peloponnesian War or which were the colonies and conquests of Alexander. Greek culture is also touched on this topic, with examples such as the Hellenism.
Iberia, Rome and Hispania
In the same way that the subject of Greece is one of the most extensive or longest in the history subject of 1st of ESO, The subject of Iberia, Rome and Hispania also stands out in a special way, taking into account that it is the subject in which the origins of Spain are explained.
It is possible then that for the review of this topic, it would be good for the 1st ESO students to review how the romans They were able to extend territorial conquest which encompassed a large part of what is now known as Europe and also, or above all, in Spain.
It will also be good to review the types of social conflicts that occurred in the territory of Rome and how its conquest in territories such as Hispania was carried out through different phases.
As for Iberia, students can review what were the early civilizations in Iberiawhat type of conquests they suffered, what influence did peoples such as the Greek or also the Roman leave behind and how various conflicts developed due to their conquest and also how the Christianity.
It is all this, as we say, a really extensive topic, which together with the part dedicated to the Roman wars and invasions, must also be treated from the cultural aspect and the influence of Rome and its advances (at all levels) in the territory that the Phoenicians called Hispania (just as the Romans would later do). In this way, we leave you several links so that you can review this topic in depth.
