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

2 assemblies included - 1) The first assembly tells the story of the main events of Holy Week. The angle I have taken is to try and get students to think about some of the feelings and emotions people may have felt when Jesus was in Jerusalem. 2) The second assembly focuses on how Easter has developed over time, its origins and also explores what it means to people in modern times. The quiz is a simple multiple choice double sided sheet that can be completed in class afterwards or as a standalone activity.

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

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.
