An excellent way for pupils to capture how well they have done each time they try a source question. This has been made for the Impact of War on Britain GCSE History unit but I have left it adaptable so teachers can use it with any topic or any subject KS4 or 5.
- Stick it on the inside of a pupils book at the beginning of the unit
- Each time they do an exam question get them to write their mark and the date they did it on the grid
- Excellent way to either show progress or spot were pupils are having difficulties with certain types of exam questions so you can focus their revision

A source sheet that can be linked to part of a lesson or used as the basis of one. One method I us is:
- Display a photograph of children being evacuated from a train station. Ask pupils to develop some questions they would want to ask them, e.g. "What's in your suitcase?" etc. Write these on the board.
-In pairs, pupils can study sources on the evacuation of children during WWII and attempt to answer the questions devised in the starter. Feedback to class. Extension – Pupils can try and create additional questions to ask about the evacuation.
- Afterwards set a homework around the questions that could not be answered
Aimed to be used at the end of a study of the key Cold War event. The lesson is structured as follows:
- Pupils create a mind map about what they already know about the Cuban Missile Crisis
- They then use sources (the number of which can be reduced depending on the ability of pupils) to populate the mind map during the course of the lesson. Pupils use a different colour pen for this so it clearly shows new material gleaned from the resources.
- Feedback and sharing with other members of the class. Again pupils should use another colour for this so it shows peer teaching
These 16 sheets will support your teaching of key areas of crime and punishment from 1000 - 1600.

A Scheme of Work I do with my Yr9's that mixes the political and social history of the Cold War. They explore how political events panned out during the decades of the Cold War and then in the following lesson investigate what life was like for teenagers at the time. This pack also includes:
- A SOW with lesson objectives/outcomes and suggested activities with links.
- Resources that can be used with a number of the lessons
To help resource this further; get hold of some teenager magazines from the 80s (i.e. BJ magazine) and photocopy them, the BBC documentary box set called the Twentieth Century and some items such as Walkman's and records. These are great to use as discussion points during lessons. I got hold of most from other (older) teachers and TA's. Also a good excuse to go hunting around family lofts for toys, board games, newspapers and defunct electronics.
I can't stress how much pupils and you will enjoy this unit. It's a nostalgic journey into a key era of world history. Also still very relevant now.
