This outstanding resource is built around the timeless 1990s BBC classic from the series ‘The History File.’ If you are new to the profession, then the basic concept behind the series was to place a young girl called Melanie into a Virtual Reality Museum and let her investigate various history issues. Funny enough technology has now come full circle with the latest VR technology. This is an excellent series, which will engage your most challenging students on those dark rainy days when the wind is howling around the school! This video observation sheet was designed to be used with the episode called 'Britain, First Industrial Nation 1750 - 1850. I have included a link to the official HD version on YouTube. If you are looking for a great way to cover in a fun and engaging way all those difficult industrial statistics, whilst getting over the big ideas on change and continuity from 1750 - 1850 and the move from manufacturing to factory production, then this is the lesson for you. When you download this free resource from the History Academy, you will be able to access a fully editable, three page Microsoft Word document. It contains 15 differentiated tasks that are structured around watching the video and making effective notes. In some sections you might rewind the video and and get you students to actively listen before making their notes. The last task involves getting your students to write up their video notes for homework answering an extended question. If you are interested in splashing out on the price of a cup of coffee to help support our efforts, you could purchase an accompanying SEND PowerPoint which includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, information slides, tasks and activities to complete alongside the video. It also includes templates from the video observation sheet so that you can summarise your students notes on your IWB as well as templates from the accompanying writing frame to help your students produce an extended piece of writing or essay on the topic.

This outstanding literacy lesson has been designed by experienced history teachers at the History Academy to help students understand why the Normans built Square Keep Castles. It forms part of a series of lessons on why the Normans built castles, which can be downloaded and purchased from our TES Shop or from the bundled link below. However, this lesson will run alongside any main stream resources on Norman castles and can be adapted to suit any similar buildings in your local historical environment. The teaching model for this lesson to at first draw upon students prior knowledge about formal letters, persuasive techniques, Motte & Bailey and Square Keep Castles. The activities in the PowerPoint are designed to build upon this knowledge in preparation for students assessing three different letters that I have included in the pack. These letters should be printed off along with the assessment criteria grid that I have included along with various templates and writing frames for writing formal and persuasive letters. It is always a good idea to ask your English department about what techniques they use with your students for this type of writing exercise so that you can achieve the best results with your students. Once your students have assessed the three letters that I have included, o dubious quality, they can then have a go at drafting their own responses and then finishing them off for homework. These can then be assessed using your whole school marking policy for peer assessment and my assessment criteria grid at the start of the next lesson. They can then have ago at redrafting or typing them up and again finishing them off for homework. The whole thing should take two lessons, but that depends upon how much lesson time you have. Once finished these letters make excellent display work as you can see from the photographs that I have included. I usually get my students to age their letters The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: How did William keep control?

This is then passed around the group so that other students can add to the list. After four rounds, I usually get each group to feedback their results and write the words on the board. I would then give out the word search and give them 5 to 10 minutes to complete the task before asking them to feedback and annotate a copy of the word search either on the IWB or logging into the website and competing the interactive version. Once this task is complete, I then set them the heads and tails activity which gets them to match up the key words with their correct definitions, once again feeding back in the same way. Finally, I would consolidate the lesson by getting them to create a history dictionary of key words in the back of their book, which they can finish off for homework. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: Introduction to History Know: What key words do we use in our history lessons? Understand: What these words mean?
