Information and sources on the opium wars for KS3

This lesson is a fun and unusual way of introducing the great powers in 1900 and getting pupils to think about International Relations. I took the idea from a version of this at my training school but this is 100% my own version of it with added ridiculousness. It is by far the best introduction to International Relations for KS3 I have ever done. I’ve also used it for Year 10 studying International Relations pre WWI and it worked very well. Includes all resources: Map of house, card sort, powerpoint, instructions for students and teacher and homework

I have included my SMART nnotebook files but incase you don’t have the software to open them also a PDF version of each file. Includes all lessons for the USA failure at home and abroad unit for AQA GCSE.

This is a KS3 lesson for Y7/8 and has quite a high challenge/ stretch and challenge for more able pupils. It follows on from my lesson on Henry VII and his problems and solutions and is best used with the attached glossary of key terms. It also addresses many of the misconceptions about Henry as a fat tyrannical ruler that we know he became later in his reign and looks at the optimism of a young Renaissance Prince- handsome and youthful in stark contrast to his father,

Interpretations of Henry VIII- was he a Tyrant or Renaissance Prince? This lesson is designed for KS3 but is quite challenging so could be used for GCSE. I also have a whole unit of work on the Tudor monarchs for £15 which includes 10 lessons – plenty of high challenge and retrieval. You may want to buy that rather than individual lessons :)
