Written for Ks3 this lesson will get students investigating the planning for and overcoming the problems associated with the opening of the Second Front in Europe. A teacher led introduction then requires the students to open password protected documents in order to simulate the cracking of the German Enigma codes. Students will need to answer four questions regarding their knowledge of WWII and open the files. These can be amended though the questions set at the moment will require access to the internet. With the downloaded evidence, student can plan their actions to overcome the German defenses and successfully get the Allied armies ashore. Students then complete the beach landing sheet to explain their tactics, timings and strategies. This can be assessed using the assessment sheet included based upon the PLTs: Team Workers and Effective Participators

KS3 learning place mat on the British Empire - but could be easily adapted to any topic. Students are supported to place their learning each lesson within it's wider historical context and appreciate the 'big picture'. The place mat contains useful word lists, picture prompts and links assessment directly to the new 9-1 GCSE style Questions - in this case - Edexcel Weimar and Nazi Germany Unit 3 questions. The first two slides form the A3 place mat which includes the assessment questions and the final two slides provide support for the judgment 'essay' question as well as a 'mid activity' peer feedback sheet, encouraging AfL with impact. While this resource has been based on the British Empire, it could be easily adapted for any KS3 topic with generic grade boundary descriptors.

This resource can be used to introduce the Medicine Through Time GCSE course. It takes four images through time and encourages students to gain a chronological understanding of the key periods through deconstructing the carefully chosen 4 images. This worked extremely well with my students who were able to use the images to identify continuity and change between periods and make judgements on key questions such as: 1. How was illness explained? 2. How did people try to treat illness? 3. How were the sick cared for? 4. Who cared for the sick? Students need an A3 copy of the word document table and an A4 copy of the picture sheet - ideally in colour. This work can be completed individually or in pairs. I adapted this resource for current year 11 students as a group based revision task - (really well received by both students and other colleagues). I will publish this also.

This resource can be used by students as an independent revision programme or used by teachers to deliver revision sessions in the weeks leading up to the Medicine exam. Pupils will gain factual knowledge of the course as well as a better understanding of the exam technique needed for each question type. Furthermore, each unit covers a good range of past exam questions together with knowledge organisers and writing frames (to support the less able). The resource provides: a) A summary of the key facts/knowledge you need for the Medicine Exam. It gives pupils a fresh start to re-learn the course, without the need to re-read class notes! Key knowledge has been organised in periods of history with common sub headings signposting the main themes that run throughout the course. KEY PERIODS: Roman Medicine Medieval Medicine Renaissance Medicine 1750 - 1900 1900 onwards The KEY THEMES within each period include: How the cause of illness was explained How illness was prevented How illness was treated Care of the Sick Training of Doctors Public Health b) My students use this resource initially to make high quality revision notes such as flash cards, mind maps, bullet point lists. c) Sample exam questions are also provided at the end of each period/section and students can choose to answer at least one exam question in full under timed conditions. d) Furthermore, each exam question is accompanied with a suggested writing frame and/or a graphic organiser, making the resource fully differentiated . My D/C/B students really benefited from this (as did some of my A grade target students who need to adopt a less narrative and more analytical approach to exam technique).
