Hi there, I am a head of History based in South Yorkshire.
My strengths and passion are in teaching and learning. I enjoy making my lessons as engaging as possible as it is this, which I believe, to be the most effective behaviour management strategy and the key to helping students achieve excellent results and become engaged and excited about history and learning.

This lesson has been created for KS3 students and covers the transatlantic triangular trade route for the topic of Slavery. The purpose of the lesson is for students to learn who was involved in slavery transactions, and how it was set up to work. Student are then to begin to consider why it was possible for this to work the way in which it did. Who were the enablers?
The lesson offers an opportunity for fun paired work when exploring the transatlantic trade triangle. Individual tasks include exam technique in the format of a 4 mark ‘describe’ question in addition to other tasks. All accompanying resources are included in Microsoft PowerPoint format and suggested learning outcomes provided with space for you to add your own accompanying grades. Additionally, I have provided instructions and advice in the format of ‘Teacher notes’ underneath each slide, to view these you need to come out of full screen mode.
I have taught this lesson to both Y8 and Y9 depending on where Slavery falls in the schemes of work. I really hope you enjoy teaching this lesson as much as I do!

This resource activity contains 2x all about me bunting and flag templates in PDF format for primary students to complete with details about themselves and to colour in and develop on the design to show their individual personalities. A perfect activity for back to school in class or as a set piece for homework. It would make a lovely display or a timecapsule piece for students to look back on at the end of their primary school career.
The individual bunting triangles could be used to make a hanging display in your classroom (there is a flap across the top to fold over a string) and the flag design would make a lovely wall display.
The resource is aimed at primary aged students - mainly upper KS2 students however it could be used with lower KS2 classes with a little more teacher guidance. This has been created as an independent student activity but it could equally work as a paired discussion activity with students interviewing one another and completing the flag on their peers behalf.
Questions on the bunting include things such as, name, birthday, self portrait frame, favourite book and subjects.
Please note this resource is an activity with templates and student instructions not for a full lesson powerpoint.

A full lesson to share with your KS3 and KS4 students for Black History Month.
This lesson has been created on Microsoft PowerPoint and is designed to be taught for an hour, however, the tasks can be adapted to speed up or slow down the lesson and some of the tasks included could be taught as stand alone activities. All accompanying information sheets/ worksheets have been provide and additional supportive student materialsfor the starter and plenary have been provided on the PowerPoint as hidden slides to help deliver the lesson quicker should you require.
The lesson includes keywords & definitions, a brief overview of what Black History Month is and why we celebrate it, scaffolded teaching, information sheets to search and categorize key information. Students are then to use the information they have extracted to complete profile pages on significant figures in black history. I have provided single A4 information sheets on 4 key figures from varying periods of history in addition to blank profile pages (black and white to save on colour printing and provide students with more opportunities to get creative!)
There is an AFL check point built into the lesson and to consolidate the learning students can attempt an exam style question which is great for practicing and developing point & evidence writing. The accompanying mark scheme to self-assess has also been included (this is currently styled as a 4 mark AQA history ‘describe’ question). Alternatively, this can easily be tweaked to meet the language and style of your own subject/exam board questions.
I really hope your students enjoy this lesson for Black History Month. If you get the opportunity, please review!
