GCSE History – Superpower Rivalry revision activity. This lesson uses the framework of an advice column to aid in revision. There is a plan, a variety of worksheets and the presentation which provides an introduction and an example for students to emulate. To note an issue or event and give the next step/consequence for it. To note the positive and negative issues surrounding key events, developments, and flashpoints. To criticise and provide analysis and connections around the events or/and the leaders of these events.

GCSE History – Henry VIII & ministers revision activity I have created a lesson using advice columns as my template. Ask Abby was the most famous American columnist so I have used her as inspiration for this creative approach to revision. I have included versions of the worksheets in word, pdf and image versions. The lesson plan uses the 5 min lesson plan template. If you like this lesson I will have other topics and a bundle available shortly.
