This fun and interactive lesson looks at the controversy surrounding the debate on whether Britain should introduce a national identity card or voter ID cards. The main activity focuses around card sort of the key issues, which is followed up with a class continuum voting activity using post it notes. This can then be further consolidated or extended with a student speech writing task arguing either one side or the other.

This resource bundles together our growing resources on Medieval African History. This exciting topic is often overlooked due to the pressures of the curriculum time or because colleagues are simple not aware of the rich tapestry of African history.
The first lesson on why study Medieval African History is a free lesson which sets the scene and the nature of the historical debate. The following lesson gives an overview of the history of the African Empires and Kingdoms during the medieval and early modern periods.
The second lesson comes in two formats, the first is an all singing and dancing market place activity which is designed to get students out of their places and collaborating and sharing. The second version is less active and follows the traditional PowerPoint and Worksheet working in tandem.
The third lesson looks at why Mali became a powerful Medieval African Empire. It comes in two forms, again market place activity and a more traditional PowerPoint with worksheet. Both lessons include a wide range of activities to suit learners from across the spectrum of ability including an essay, heads and tails, word search, missing word activity, knowledge recall questions and a quiz.
The overall aims and objectives of these lessons are:
Theme: Medieval African History
Know: How rich and powerful were African empires and kingdoms?
Understand: How have historians interpreted African Medieval History in the past?
Evaluate: How advanced were Medieval African Kingdoms?
Skills: Source Analysis, Cause, Consequence & Collaboration
