1. Chronology across periods

Build secure Key Stage 2 understanding of chronology across periods in History.

A common misconception is treating chronology across periods in History as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Core vocabulary for chronology across periods Extension: Extend toward ancient civilisations once chronology across periods is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: Key Stage 1 History - Repair foundations in Key Stage 1 History if chronology across periods is blocked by earlier knowledge.

Later outcome: Key Stage 3 History - Stretch chronology across periods toward Key Stage 3 History once evidence is transferable.

Representative problem: Complete one short History task using chronology across periods and explain one step.

Mastery signal: Explains chronology across periods in their own words
