I have been teaching History to students aged 11-18 for almost twenty years in an all ability high school. As I spend most of my day in the classroom, I want it to be an inspiring place. The prices reflect the time and effort in creating and editing the resource.

A pack of ten classroom posters featuring student and teacher-focused themes, including fast finishers, quotes from Atomic Habits, and joining clubs. All images used were sourced freely online.
This is a collection of thirty posters featuring women who have made significant contributions to history. These posters are available for printing in both small and large sizes. I have printed them in large and colorful format and they occupy an entire wall in my room. Students and visiting parents often show interest in these posters and make comments about them.
This lesson can be used in multiple ways: as a standalone activity, a stretch and extend exercise, or as a part of a study on Elizabeth I. The lesson focuses on developing important skills such as managing information, communication, critical thinking, and working in teams.
Uploads include: a power point to guide the teaching and the lesson; teacher guidance regarding time, activities and answers as well as a worksheet for students to collate their information.
My junior classes enjoy this lesson as part of a wider study on Elizabeth I. Many see a connection between portraits of monarchy and modern celebrities controlling their image.
The lesson can be altered to suit your needs but we normally allocate two hours of study time.
A double sided poster of evidence regarding the period of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
I use this at the end of the year with young teenagers as a means of developing a discussion about The Troubles: the causes, events and significance. Evidence includes written materials, images and cartoons from the time. An accompanying set of questions contains true and false, explanation, anagrams, using maths and chronological order.
*Please note: I have no religious or political affiliations and my intention is to facilitate discussion among young people, allowing them to draw their own conclusions.
This text is intended for individuals who are preparing to take the Northern Ireland curriculum and need guidance on how to answer past paper questions. It covers specific topics such as Nazi Germany, Changing Relations from 1920 to 1949, and International Relations. All of the information provided has been adapted from the CCEA guidelines.
This escape room is a great way to introduce the topic of Jews and Minorities in Nazi Germany or as a thinking skills exercise that requires the students to work together and use their logic. The resources contain a number of clues, each one giving a letter that collectively spells the word “Untermenschen”. Instructions and answers are included to make it easy for the teachers to print and collate the materials and help guide the students. My students thoroughly enjoyed this exercise, which took approximately twenty minutes, and two groups even became very competitive!
These PDF files are perfect for printing full-scale color posters or A3 size that display the various aspects of the individual Stuart reigns. They are typically used as a display in my room and my post sixteen students like having their own wall display.
*If anyone wants the publisher version, I can upload this with printing instructions.
This is an assessment based on the butcher of the Somme debate.
The poster includes a variety of sources such as diaries, opinions, diagrams, statistics, and a video clip. The video source is freely available online. The accompanying grid prompts students to first determine whether Haig was a butcher, hero, or bungler and then provide evidence to support their stance. The second task requires students to evaluate the trustworthiness of each source and provide justifications for their assessments. Finally, the third task asks students to write a paragraph explaining their viewpoint and supporting it with specific details.
We use this as a tracking assessment, counting towards their overall grade for the year. It develops skills useful at senior level.
The resource contains a power point, the grid and the poster of evidence.
This collection of four posters includes comprehensive information that summarizes the CCEA topics of Life in Nazi Germany, Changing Relations, 1920-49, and International Relations. Each year, my GCSE classes request these posters to put them on their wall to assist with regular revision. They frequently refer to them in class or on Google Classroom. It is best to print these posters larger size and in color.
