My students love using these as a revision tool and also as an in class activity. Each of the twenty seven hand-shaped cards has a key topic about Weimar & Nazi Germany on it and each finger has a name/date/quote/statistic/fact on. Students learn precise supporting material which really boosts examination success. These aides can be reversed so students can test each other by reading the answers first and guessing the topic also. Once cut out and laminated they make a very handy and mobile revision aide and knowledge on them is extremely precise and exact.

In this lesson students work through a ‘what’s behind the squares’ starter activity which introduces them to the horrors of the First World War. They then proceed to work through the detailed set of notes and use this knowledge in the main activiation tasks (questions to test comprehension and a mind-map activity) before testing their chronological understanding of the notes in the ‘play your cards right’ plenary. My students always love this lesson and it is a great introduction to life in 1920s USA. I’m confident your students will love it too.

This is one of my most detailed IB lessons. Students are introduced to the topic with a hard hitting starter (please use with discretion) to introduce them to the idea of chemical weapons and to make links over time. They then read through the extremely detailed information pack before completing a range of source activities designed to help them with IB Paper 1 source handling skills. Students then test subject knowledge with the charade cards provided and conclude with a plenary PPT. I hope your students get as much from this lesson as mine always do.

This is one of my students’ absolute favourite lessons. They are given the starter activity ‘sellotape challenge’ and are asked to design a castle defence on their desks. Following this students then proceed to work through an incredibly detailed set of notes which outline the key features and changes as well as reasons for this. The cloze / scaffolded activity then tests and measures comprehension. I really hope your students gain as much from these activities as I know mine always do. These activities are fantastic for setting up a ‘build a castle competition’ - the kind of showcase event that brings great kudos and energy to a History Department!

This is the most detailed lesson pack on TES in terms of prohibition and gangsterism.

I have also included PowerPoint starter and plenary activities so the entire lesson is here for you. This is a gripping topic which my students always love and I hope your classes enjoy it just as much!

This is a great lesson which encourages students to hone their historical skill of interpretation. Students begin by suggesting which of the historical characters are the ‘odd one out’ and this leads to a discussion about why so many of them were assassinated. From here we explore a detailed set of notes about those who opposed the New Deal and students complete the structured journalist activity to consolidate their learning. Students complete the lesson by reviewing some historiography and placing their argument within this. My students always make excellent progress in this lesson and I hope your students enjoy it just as much.

This lesson is crucial to an understanding of the USA in the 1920s. Students begin by exploring how First World War propaganda impacted on marketing techniques with a detailed PPT before progressing to a very detailed set of notes.

My class always make exceptional progress in this lesson and I hope yours find it just as useful.

In this lesson the class begin by playing a game where they are given a series of statements and need to vote with their feet to decide if they are true or false. Once incorrect they return to their seats and the winner is crowned as the last person standing. (This starter is based on the Great Helmsman goes swimming in order to introduce concepts of power and virility in Maoist China.). The class then work through detailed notes about different groups in society and are given a movie making activity. The lessons concludes with a great plenary PPT in which students are given a series of caption competitions and need to try to use some of the knowledge they have accrued thus far. There are examples given. My students love this topic and I planned these resources during my time teaching in Shanghai so they really mean a lot to me and my students. I hope you can get just as much use from them.

This lesson will really get your students actively engaged. They begin by figuring out the anagrams of key terms and phrases from the course before working through a detailed set of notes on how China changed after the 1911 Revolution. From here students proceed to complete a 15 piece card sort, arranging them into social, political and economic impacts of Warlordism. Students then complete the lesson with a fun activity (Dingbats) designed to test how well they have understood the key vocabulary and events from the lesson. This lesson was one I created and planned while teaching in China so I really invest as much precision in the historical detail as possible. I hope your students enjoy it as much as mine.

My students love this activity. 160+ questions based on the following categories: USA & her allies Soviet leaders The People Wars Words & Phrases Statistics It takes a little while to cut out the cards and the board and works best once laminated but your students will love this revision activity. The questions are designed to boost subject knowledge and focus on precise historical detail which in turn helps student examination performance. I hope your classes enjoy this activity as much as my IGCSE and IB classes always do! You can watch a game in action with this URL here - https://youtu.be/i8TtkQZs3cU

A 22-page pack of over 100 great ideas for the History teacher looking to improve his or her pedagogy. I use this within my team to shake up our teaching and revitalize old schemes of work. All of the activities are easy to implement and very transferable across topics. The pack can also be used as a great CPD tool for staff training. I’ve compiled these ideas over a 20 year teaching career and am very proud to share them with other education professionals. Daniel Guiney

This is one of my most important lessons because not only is the content very precise but it refines student’s ability to consider significance as an historical concept. The lesson begins with a starter activity which invites students to consider the basest aspects of Nazism and then leads into a detailed set of notes. The class then complete a ‘clever cross’ activity where they measure who gained the most and in which they complete a numerical exercise. The lesson concludes with a powerful plenary in which students are introduced to Anthony Partington’s criteria for measuring historical significance and this is linked directly back to the Key Question. I hope your students gain as much from this skills and content based lesson as mine do.

In this lesson students work through a comprehensive set of notes before attempting a Tarsia card sort activity to consolidate knowledge acquired. The lesson concludes with a game of Nazism Guess Who whereby students ask only questions which require a yes/no response (they can use the internet to help respond). Please note prior to purchase this game works best if you already have a board upon which you can stick the pictures! I hope your students find this lesson on Widerstand as useful as mine always do.
