A display (but can also be used as a resource) showing the many achievements of individual modern women. I have aimed to include women from around the world, including from Europe, South America and Asia. I have also used women who are not often seen in the mainstream curriculum, for example sharing the biographies of the relatively unknown Sojourner Truth and Sarah Breedlove, rather than the more famous Rosa Parks. Each power point slide has images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual, with the aim of increasing awareness on some of the many achievements of women in history. The individuals included are: Manuela Saenz Kate Sheppard Mary Wollstonecroft Sirimavo Bandaranaike Wangari Maathai Ada Lovelace Indira Ghandi Ursula Kuczynski Sojourner Truth Emperor Cixi Valentina Tereshkova Shirin Abadi Edith Windsor Yoshioka Yayoi Evelyn Scott Ellen Johnson Jeanne Villepreux Rigoberta Menchu Tum Sarah Breedlove Nadia Murad

A 25-question revision quiz put together for year 7 History, covering the invasion of 1066, castles, the feudal system, the Black Death and Henry VIII.

Lessons focusing on how useful different types of data and evidence is on learning about places in the UK, past and present. These lessons were made for A Level Geography, however they could also be used for History as their main focus is on quantitative and qualitative data on Whitechapel, London, during the 19th and 21st century.

A series of lessons based on the AQA Geography A Level module of changing places. These lessons examine regeneration in different ways, including the rise and fall of Detroit, the regeneration of different cities for the Olympics (Beijing, Rio and London) and small-scale regeneration of a Kent town. Exam practice and homework involving conducting surveys are included. Links for some of the resources are on the power point, but for a few of the activities a copy of the AQA Human Geography (AS and A Level) textbook is needed.

A series of lessons examining the Aztec empire. The first lesson begins with the origins of the Aztecs, the second lesson focuses on religion, and the third examines the fall of the Aztecs. There are a range of activities, including group tasks, videos and arguments of significance. There is also an optional task to replace the creative activity, and extension tasks.

Inspired by the British Museum’s ‘The History of the World in 100 Objects’, these three lessons take 20 of those objects and use them to examine global history, from prehistory to the 21st century. Skills covered in the activities given include peer assessment, geography, inferencing and analysis. There is also a homework task and a quiz to assess pupil’s own knowledge. This will hopefully provide a good introduction to the subject of History and historical skills, particularly when inferencing and arguing significance. All resources needed are inclulded.

A lesson that examines the various reforms put in place during the Victorian era, as part of a KS3 module on the Victorians. After examining the cruelty, crime and danger of 1800s Britain, were things really that bad, and how did people try to bring about change?

A display (but can also be used as a resource) showing the many achievements of individual Medieval women. I have aimed to include women from around the world, for example from South America, Asia and the Middle East. I have also included women who are not well known, such as looking at Jeanne, who became a pirate during the Hundred Years War, rather than the more popular Joan of Arc. Each power point slide has images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual. The aim of this resource is to increase knowledge of the Medieval world and erase misconceptions of the role of women in history. The women included are: Khawla bint al-Azwar Wu Zetian Al-Khayzuran bint Atta Fatima Al-Fihri Aethelflaed Subh of Cordoba Murasaki Shikibu Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim Emma of Normandy Wallada bint al-mustakfi Hildegard von Bingen Moremi Ajasoro Margaret of Jerusalem Tomoe Gozen Khutulun Jeanne de Clisson Margaret I of Denmark Christine de Pisan Margaret Paston La Malinche

A collection of primary sources, both written and material, on Medieval women. The sources demonstrate how women were viewed at this time and what roles women played in society. There is also a list of suggested questions that could be used alongside these primary sources.

Information and activities on how World War One was a truly global war, focusing on the fighting in Africa and the African Americans who joined the conflict. The aim of these activities is to develop knowledge on World War One, disperse misconceptions about the conflict and help remember those who fought in the war. Activities include creative projects, interactive tasks, writing paragraphs and completing quizzes, which can be incorporated into lessons or form a whole lesson. Most of these activities can be completed at home, in case pupils/year groups need to isolate. Topics covered include why World War One is seen as a global war, the victories of the Harlem Hellfighters, fighting in East Africa and how non-whites were treated after the war. All resources, including videos, are included.

For Black History Month: a case study on the Haiti Revolution, adapted from a feedback lesson about writing strong PEE paragraphs. An information sheet is provided, as well as power point slides with questions and a practice paragraph. Could be a useful addition to a lesson about slavery, empires and rebellion.

Four lessons about three infamous queens in the Middle Ages who fought against husbands and kings, demonstrating the determination and intelligence of women during times of oppression. The first lesson focuses on the general role of women in the Middle Ages and the life of Matilda. The second and third lessons focus on Eleanor and Isabella, and the fourth lesson examines the similarities and differences between all three queens. All the lessons have different, creative activities as well as opportunities for students to discuss and form their own arguments about the roles played by these queens. The final lesson ends with an opportunity to rethink how we should view women of the Middle Ages. All resources needed are included.

Specially made for Black History Month, these two lessons focus on 5 individuals who fought for the abolition of slavery, both in America and in Britain. A range of class activities allow pupils to be creative, discuss their views and develop their knowledge of abolitionists. These lessons also cover reasons why abolishing slavery was such a challenge and what might be done to end modern slavery. A piece of homework is also set at the end of the second lesson. As these lessons focus on the abolition of slavery, pupils should have at least some prior knowledge on the Atlantic slave trade and the abhorrent treatment slaves faced. I have also put a case study on Harriet Tubman on Tes for free, however it is not part of a complete lesson.

For Black History Month: a case study on Harriet Tubman, taken from a lesson about life as a slave. An information sheet is provided, as well as power point slides with a short video and a series of questions on Tubman. Could be a useful addition to a lesson about African-American individuals, American slavery or the Underground Railroad.

An educational, fast and fun card game to help educate students about the Egyptian Book of the Dead. All cards are based on the real gods, monsters, spells and events found in the Book of the Dead scriptures. All images on the cards are contemporary images, and most from the Book of the Dead scriptures. The aim of the game is to collect 5 chapter cards - key events in the deceased’s journey through the netherworld - before the other players. The various gods, monsters and spells can help and hinder this aim. All cards and instructions are included, including a document containing smaller cards, to save on printing. All you need to do is print out the cards and instructions, mark the cards that are lightning cards (see instructions) and then hand the cards out to pupils (ideally 2-5 in a group) to play! If needed, you are welcome to edit the cards or instructions to make it more suitable to your pupils etc.

A display (but can also be used as a class resource) showing the achievements of individual ancient women. I have aimed to include women from around the world, such as from South America, Asia and North Africa, and those who are not well known, for example looking at the achievements of Cleopatra’s sister rather than Cleopatra herself. Each power point slide includes images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual. The aim of this resource is to erase misconceptions of both ancient civilisations around the world and the role of women in history. The women included are: Enheduanna Hatshepsut Nefertiti Sammu-Ramat Naqia Gargi Vachaknavi Sappho Artemisia I of Caria Aspasia Artemisia II Zhuo Wenjun Arsinoe IV Livia Amanishahitu Cai Wenji Helena Hypatia of Alexandria Aelia Augusta Seondeok Lady K’abel
