Why do people have different opinions about Cromwe

Why do people have different opinions about Cromwe

(2)
I used the X factor to explain why people have different opinions and interpretations of History, because the students always understand why different mentors support their own acts, even if they are terrible acts and can't sing. You can update it each year with the latest acts.

What was the Ottoman Empire?

(1)
An introduction or stand alone lesson on the Ottoman Empire. students have to study the different main events in the Ottoman Empire, to make an A3 timeline, and then evaluate how powerful the Ottoman Empire was at each of these points. An example is given of what the students need to create. I print off the task sheet and photocopy it into A3. I then print off the information slides and give these to the students. With a weaker group a teacher may wish to go through each event slide by slide. There is a challenge task available for stronger students.

Botany Bay Historic Site- Scheme of Work Eduqas History GCSE

(1)
This is an entire Scheme of Work for the Historic Site aspect of the Eduqas Crime and Punishment Unit for History GCSE. Every lesson has activities, worksheets and practice exam questions. At times the work refers to the textbook- this is available for free by emailing the exam board, or contact me and I can email it. The scheme of work could easily be adapted for other students studying this content. A lot of the content is generic. I also have a Botany Bay Knowledge Organiser and Revision Booklet available - please see my other resources

How did WWI affect civilians?

(1)
This is a background lesson before students started the controlled coursework task on the Impact of WWI on civilians in Britain. For the activity I spread the information slides (at the last part of the PPT) around the room. They then filled the worksheet in using these. For the plenary you can print off a 'brain shape' for the 'fill your brain' activity. The clips for the activities are in the notes section of the powerpoint.

Why did men join up to fight in WWI?

(3)
Looking at the different influences of propaganda and conscription students examine why people joined up to fight. The oral testimonies are all from the BBC website. I also used a clip from BBC Learning Zone of one of the last veterans. I attached the EAL sheet just in case anybody else needed it.

Have women achieved equality in 2019?

(1)
This was used for an end of unit lesson on Women’s Rights in the 20th and 21st Century for Year 9 History, but could easily work for Citizenship or PSHE as a standalone lesson on this topic.

Was appeasement cowardly?

(0)
This is a lesson for a mixed ability Year 9 group focused on appeasement. I used two videos from BBC Learning Zone for stimulus - the links are saved in the notes section of the powerpoint. The first video should be used to answer the first task on the worksheet. The second is for the 2nd page of the worksheet (LO2).

How significant was the Montgomery Bus Boycott

This is a double lesson (1.5hrs) for Year 10. The first activity was using sources from the US National Archives- students have to answer the questions in groups. The links for the clip (which is on BBC Learning Zone) is in the notes section of the powerpoint. The final part of the lesson, asks students to evaluate the significance of the bus boycott. I scaffold this by giving them all statements (cut up the statements of significance and then give them to students) and get them to move around the room.

This is a 1 to 1.5 hour lesson for Year 9 students on the early British Empire in Australia. The lesson uses the BBC 'In Our Time' series to understand the first encounters between the British and Aborigines. The questions are structured so that even weaker students are able to access the difficult language of this audio clip. This is followed by differentiated worksheets.

GCSE History- Germany Revision

(0)
This is an active revision guide for students which I made to cover the whole of the GCSE Germany content. It consists of questions and answers for the whole period for Germany 1919-39. Students can then test each other on their knowledge, use it for revision, or get family members or friends to test them. I have found it to be a really effective revision guide.

What were the causes of World War I?

(0)
This looks at the four main long term causes of World War I- Imperialism, Nationalism, Alliances and the arms race. Students have a structured way of learning one factor and then teach it to each other. The lesson then asks students to link these to short term factors, using the Horrible Histories clip, with differentiated tasks to complete whilst watching this clip. It finishes with an exam practice. The worksheets are included within the PowerPoint slides, just to make things simple. This lesson was made for a mixed ability Year 9 class, and was 1 hour long. It could be broken into two shorter lessons.

Was Emily Davison a hero

(0)
A lesson on Emily Davison. Can be part of a unit on the Suffragettes or a stand alone lesson on a key figure from history. The 'statements' I used for a plenary exercise for lower ability classes. I handed students different statements. I then asked them to work out if that showed Emily was a hero or not. This helped them formulate an opinion on her actions. Would work for any KS3 class.
