This worksheet was originally written for a series of AQA KS4 coursework lessons on how the ‘status’’ and ‘position’ of Jews changed in Europe 1880 - 1920. I have updated the resource and redesigned this lesson so it serves as an introduction to anti-Semitism in Weimar Germany.
The content of the lesson outlines the origins of anti-Semitism in Medieval and Reformation Germany and then focuses on its revival in 1880 and how it evolved as a result of the impact of the First World War and the crisis that Germany was facing in the early years of the Weimar Republic. The questions, graphic organiser and card sorts are all aimed to get students to analyse the sources and evaluate how the events impacted the ‘status’ and 'position of German Jews.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download both a Word and PDF version of the worksheet and the supporting graphic organiser and card sort. This particular version is our budget version, for a bit more you can buy the fun and interactive PowerPoint that accompanies the lesson. This resource is suitable for KS4, but is frequently used by Sixth Form students studying the topic at A Level so we uploaded this version to make it more affordable. You can also download from the TES our free resources on anti-Semitism in France and Russia covering the same period and our ever popular 'Anti-Semitism in Germany 1919 - 1945 booklet.

This fun and interactive lesson has been designed to help students investigate public health in the Roman Empire through a market place activity. This is followed up a selection of optional activities including writing a report on public health, a knowledge quiz or a heads and tails activity, depending upon the ability of your class. This lesson is designed to get your students out of their chairs, moving around and working together. The idea is to print off the information slides and post them around your classroom for your students to gather and share or print enough of them off for group work.
When you purchase this lesson, you will be able to download a 24 slide PowerPoint Presentation which includes information slides, historical sources, starters, plenaries, tasks, activities, templates as well as links to relevant video clips. For stretch and challenge, I have also included an extension slide on Roman Baths. I have also uploaded a PDF version for people who may not have PowerPoint. For more information, please see the preview.
The topics covered are aqueducts, fountains, cisterns, lead pipes, sewers, cemeteries, public toilets and baths. The aims and objectives are:
Theme: The Roman Empire
Know: What is public health?
Understand: Why Roman leaders invested in public health?
Analyse: How successful were the Romans at improving public health?
Skills: Source Analysis, Cause, Consequence & Collaboration

This market place activity has been designed to help students investigate how Roman religious beliefs changed over a thousand year period by getting them out of their chairs, moving around and working together. The idea is to print off the information slides and post them around your classroom for your students to gather and share or print enough of them off for group work. This is followed up by a selection of activities including completing a pro and con activity and extended answer on how tolerant were Roman religious beliefs.
When you purchase this lesson, you will be able to download a 30 slide PowerPoint Presentation which includes information slides, historical sources, starters, plenaries, tasks, activities, writing frames, templates, as well as links to relevant video clips.

I have also uploaded a PDF version for people who may not have PowerPoint. For more information, please see the preview.

This lesson has been designed around the topical issue on how far was the British Monarchy responsible for the Slave Trade? It can be used with all abilities as part of a history lesson or as tutor time activity. The main task involves assessing the historical evidence through a card sort exercise. This can be cut out and stuck into their books or completed by students creating a colour code or key. The lesson finishes off with a ‘Post-it’ note continuum line class voting exercise but could easily be extended with an essay, letter or speech writing exercise.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a 12 slide PowerPoint Presentation which includes aims, objectives, starters, plenaries, tasks, activities, video links, information slides as well as historical sources on Britain’s involvement in the Slave Trade. You will also be able to download a one page Word Document which includes instructions, activities, questions, two heading cards labeled ‘The British monarchy is responsible’ and ‘The British Monarchy is not responsible’, as well as fourteen information cards which can be cut out and sorted or annotated with a key. We have also uploaded both documents as PDFs.
For further information, please see the preview. The aims and objectives for this lesson are:
