A lesson developed through staff collaboration using Lesson Study. Look for the other similarly named lessons. - Fully resourced - Fun and interactive - Designed for all abilities (including SEN) - Pair/Group work focused I delivered the lesson as follows: Starter: Inference Picture Task. Get pupils to try and suggest what may be happening in the picture (e.g. The White Cliffs of Dover suggests it’s in Britain etc) Main Tasks: Quick question video clip in which pupils watch the film and write down some basic answers. This is used to set the scene. Group Work: Get pupils into groups of 3. Prior to the lesson stick on one side of sugar/A3 paper the resources I have included (sources for invasion). Also pupils should read the 'Instruction sheet legionnaire' to gain an understanding of the task. Then give the pupils 15 minutes to plan. After this use the PP to bring up the scenario slides which may put a spanner in their planning. I do this every 5 minutes. Plenary/Consolidation: Pupils are to use the sentence starters to write an extended piece of writing about the invasion of Britain. Also, use the link to the BBC to see how accurate the pupils were in their exercises. ** The 'I believe' statement cards were used to try and get some of the quieter pupils to explain their thoughts orally.

These resources includes: - A lesson on District 6 with a link to similarities with the film District 9 - A source based test on Apartheid - Worksheets to help investigate key areas of Apartheid

An excellent way for pupils to capture how well they have done each time they try a source question. This has been made for the Impact of War on Britain GCSE History unit but I have left it adaptable so teachers can use it with any topic or any subject KS4 or 5. - Stick it on the inside of a pupils book at the beginning of the unit - Each time they do an exam question get them to write their mark and the date they did it on the grid - Excellent way to either show progress or spot were pupils are having difficulties with certain types of exam questions so you can focus their revision

A revision presentation and test for KS4 pupils. Includes: - Full test with allocated marks on an easy to photocopy sheet - Tests general knowledge and source skills - Fun revision activity where pupils create a poster using notes and pictures

Two lessons on the Battle of Britain with a heavy focus on source work. - Simple to follow PowerPoint's help you see the plan of the lessons - Fully resourced and ready to go - Hand out the pilot names to pupils at the beginning of the lesson and they leave them on their desks. Then give them the outcomes sheets at the end so they learn the fate of what happened to them. Very thought provoking.

A source sheet that can be linked to part of a lesson or used as the basis of one. One method I us is: - Display a photograph of children being evacuated from a train station. Ask pupils to develop some questions they would want to ask them, e.g. "What's in your suitcase?" etc. Write these on the board. -In pairs, pupils can study sources on the evacuation of children during WWII and attempt to answer the questions devised in the starter. Feedback to class. Extension – Pupils can try and create additional questions to ask about the evacuation. - Afterwards set a homework around the questions that could not be answered

Aimed to be used at the end of a study of the key Cold War event. The lesson is structured as follows: - Pupils create a mind map about what they already know about the Cuban Missile Crisis - They then use sources (the number of which can be reduced depending on the ability of pupils) to populate the mind map during the course of the lesson. Pupils use a different colour pen for this so it clearly shows new material gleaned from the resources. - Feedback and sharing with other members of the class. Again pupils should use another colour for this so it shows peer teaching

These 16 sheets will support your teaching of key areas of crime and punishment from 1000 - 1600.

A superb lesson I have used for numerous observations before. It works well as it is well paced, has group work and helps pupils consolidate their knowledge at the end with some extended writing. You need some sugar paper or plain A3 would do. Stick the picture of a Motte and Bailey castle and the Stone Keep castle on either side of the sheet prior to the lesson. A good plan of how to run the lesson is below: Starter: A map image is displayed showing Norman castles that were built by William the Conqueror. Pupils asked questions about the map e.g. What do the locations of the castles tell you about England at the time? New Learning: Learning objectives displayed and pupils record the relevant one for their target grade into their exercise books. Pupils watch a short clip about Norman castles and then answer some questions about them with the aid of a PowerPoint slide. Learning development: In pairs, use the sugar paper to explore, analyse and consider the effectiveness of Motte and Bailey and Stone castles. Afterwards, pupils stick their own versions of the castles in in their books and complete a series of levelled activities. Plenary: Think of a 15 second sales pitch you would give William about why he should invest in each type of castle to help him control the English. Revisit Learning Objectives: Pupils consider how/why they have met their learning objective.

Lots of resources ranging from worksheets, homework tasks, tests and revision material that covers a range of topics on Weimar and Nazi Germany.

This is an assessment I use at the end of a year 9 unit looking at the significance of the Holocaust. All you need is some A3 sheets for the pupils and the worksheets attached.

A nice activity in which pupils colour in the areas dedicated to 1st, 2nd and 3rd class. Afterwards they can write about how parts of the ship were dedicated to the passengers and why so many 3rd class voyagers died.
