This is a generic version of a KS3 Takeaway History Homework menu. I have seen many excellent topic specific examples (e.g. Tudors or Great War etc.), but this can be used as a generic one for all KS3, and will therefore reduce photocopying costs etc. I have also included a QR code sheet for specific rules or worksheets required for specific homework tasks found on the menu. Pupils will need to download a free QR reader onto their phones (if they have compatible ones) from the app store to scan the codes and access these worksheets. The Friars Rating refers to the name of my school, so you can easily adapt the word document and input your own image etc. Enjoy!
