A special one-off lesson I made for my students in the run up to teaching about slavery in the British Empire. I didn’t want them to have the one view of Africa, or to stereotype Africa as a continent full of nothing but warring tribes, so made this lesson. It involves group work investigating various different African countries and civilisations, from various points in time. However, if you don’t like the layout of the lesson the resources will hopefully still be helpful in investigating a wide range of historic African cultures.

For Black History Month: a case study on the Haiti Revolution, adapted from a feedback lesson about writing strong PEE paragraphs. An information sheet is provided, as well as power point slides with questions and a practice paragraph. Could be a useful addition to a lesson about slavery, empires and rebellion.

A 25-question revision quiz put together for year 7 History, covering the invasion of 1066, castles, the feudal system, the Black Death and Henry VIII.

A lesson that examines the various reforms put in place during the Victorian era, as part of a KS3 module on the Victorians. After examining the cruelty, crime and danger of 1800s Britain, were things really that bad, and how did people try to bring about change?

Resources about the Black Death and peasant’s revolt that have been edited to suit the current lock down situation (remote online learning). Includes causes, consequences and preparation for assessment. They should also be easily edited to suit in-school teaching.

A booklet with key information and 5 activities that pupils can complete from the classroom or from home. A power point provides answers to the activities. Completing the booklet and going through the answers should take 40-50 minutes.

A lesson introducing megacities, with a couple of starter tasks before focusing on answering questions on a short video. The documentary covers opportunities, challenges and case studies of megacities in South America and Africa.

Lesson and resources looking at the use of censorship, propaganda and the development of the cult of personality in Stalin’s Russia. Good for in-depth, GCSE studies. Originally organised as a group task but can also work as individual or homework task.
