This lesson has been created for KS3 history students and covers the key historical skills of bias, fact and opinion. The purpose of the lesson is to get students to identify and understand bias, fact and opinion and how it can be applied and affect our understanding of history. This resource has been created in Microsoft PPT and all accompanying student worksheets and aids have been included and created also on Microsoft PPT and Microsoft Word.
This resource has been designed to be taught over the course of a one hour lesson and has been designed for the history curriculum, however, the activities are focusing more on skills and applying them rather than historical content so could be applied to other subjects requiring the same skill sets. Activities include keyword match, paired work and peer assessment, biased fictional writing, seek and find fact and opinion activities and a linking activity.
Please check out the teacher notes underneath the powerpoint slides for any additional information/ suggestions. Also some of the slides require you to be in full presenter mode in PPT in order for the animations to work for marking answers/ individual statement activity.
I really hope you enjoy teaching this lesson as much as I do! If you are able to, please review!
