A game based loosely on the board game. This activity is an engaging method of revisiting key elements of Medicine in the Ancient World. It comes complete with rules, guidance and easy to cut out currency. Prior to playing this game my own classes have completed a research project into the Ancient World either in class at the end of Year 9 or as a homework project prior to beginning their GCSE study of medicine through time. The project booklet is included in this package, though is available as a free resource from my resource list.
Using a range of sources and historical data, learners investigate and record the spead of the Great Plague. This provides them with a god understanding of the methodology of the day along with developing their awareness of the varied types of views held at the time. Data rich, this activity also illustrates how destructive infectious diseases could be and provides the basis for much discussion about changes in towns and cities over time. There are various activities within the pack which allows for differentiation or extension of the study over a series of lessons. Examples of audio visual presentations created by my classes as a result of this study can be found on my youtube channel or via the schoolshistory.org.uk website.
This starter activity utilises a tag cloud based on the causes of the February Revolution. Pupils look at the key words and assess what they think the main causes of the Revolution were. The task can be expanded to include an initial look at the 5 W's as the key words begin to address those questions.
Designed to be used alongside the sequencing task and change in Russia activities that we have already uploaded.

Pupils are asked to sequence a series of events that occurred in the build up to the February Revolution in Russia. This can be done as a starter activity based on prior knowledge, or alongside suitable reference materials. The events cover a range of social, economic, political and military causes of the February Revolution. An ideal follow up exercise would be looking at the level of change in Russia at this period: see our resource on Change in Russia.

The resources in this bundle provide an introductory lesson to the Causes of the February Revolution in Russia. They are easy to differentiate, allowing access and engagement at all levels.

A booklet that covers some aspects of the Norman Conquest. It addresses the claims to the throne, the invasion, Battle of Hastings and some of the consequences of the invasion and conquest. This booklet does not aim to go into a great deal of depth on the Norman Conquest. It provides the core information and that can be supplemented with resources such as my worksheets on specific aspects of the invasion and conquest. The booklet is great for small group work, as a homework pack or for homeschooling.

This is a tried and tested activity for classes of all abilities following a GCSE History course that includes a Medicine through time unit. It has previousl been used as both an introductory exercise (able groups) and as a revision exercise for mixed classes. It highlights the various types of beliefs and treatments available in the Medieval period whilst also showing that there was a class divide. The activity was designed to be completed in an hour long session in a large classroom. It works best with tables and chairs rearranged. This activity inspired some of the activities included in my work published by Hodder Murray.

They provide learners with an eye catching insight into the changes that occurred in Russia in the early twentieth century and provide a platform for discussion and study of the Revolutinary period.

A straightforward and accessible introduction to the theory of the Four Humours. This provides an understanding of the theory than underpinned much of medical practice for thousands of years.

A collection of resources on the Norman Invasion and Conquest of England. These provide an overview of the key events and begin to develop historical skills.
The aim of this exercise is to engage learners in thinking about what changed in Russia over the early years of the 20th century. By not making specific reference to the First World War, the task enables them to identify things that have changed significantly in relatively short period of time without being distracted by the war or led to believe that it was solely to blame. Factors such as the war, the 1905 revolution and famines can then be discussed as trigger points. In this way the learners should see that there are changes and some significant examples of continuity that lead to a situation where the February Revolution was a possibility.
The task can be used as a longer exercise if each point is discussed and the classes conclusions are shared and debated. However, it is is intended to be used as a shorter activity for pairs lasting 10-15 minutes in total. Delivery in that way presumes a level of prior knowledge.
To use as a longer activity, or should you wish to use the task as an introductory exercise, see our accompanying pupil note sheets on the causes of the February 1917 Revolution.
