Finding God or the Good in all things historical (created for activity week)

(0)
This resource was planned for a 1 hour and 30 minute session during an Activity Week during the Summer Term. The theme was based around "Finding God in all things" but the resource could easily be adapted for a secular purpose. During the session, students research a historical figure or event and research who, what, why, when, how. The students are then tasked with creating a video about their research on ipads (if available in your school) or on their smart phones. There's plenty to do here and a lesson plan for the teacher. Great for independent learning and would easily work for an introductory lesson during taster days or introductory weeks. Use the comment feature below to ask questions.

Was defeat of the Spanish Armada, England's finest hour?

(0)
In this lesson students take on the viewpoint of the famous Tudor and Stuart historian: David Starkey. Students use their own knowledge and a provided card sort to challenge Starkey's view. This lesson was designed for KS3 but I have used variants of it for GCSE and even A-level. I absolutely love this lesson and so do the students. I always try to sell the idea that we are going to post our responses to Starkey in attempt to get a reply. All images acquired through a search engine filtered to "labelled for re-use".
