This resource centres around the following question -
How useful are these sources to an historian in trying to decide who had the most power in the Middle Ages?
It is perfect as a stand alone lesson resource or as an end of unit assessment.
The resource contains -
A set of 6 sources relating to the murder of Thomas Becket, the signing of the Magna Carta and the Peasants Revolt of 1381.
The Assessment Question
An adaptable/editable writing frame suitable for lower ability students.
This document contains four carefully selected sources accompanying the assessment question > "How far do you agree with the interpretation that Elizabeth I was successful in dealing with all of the problems of her reign?"
Fact files covering Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and the Little Rock 9. These are suitable for KS3 students and also contain differentiated versions.
The second resource is a student enquiry grid. You could place the three factfiles around the room and ask students to fill in the grid.
Complement this with video clips (see my profile for link to my website with free videos on this topic).
This resource contains:
An 11 minute video tutorial where I explain the reasons for the Labour election victory in 1945, the subsequent policies they introduced and the establishment of the NHS.
An accompanying powerpoint.
The document comprises of two opposing interpretations of the causes of WW1. The first saying Germany was to blame and the second Serbia. The third source to help students is an image of the alliance system in 1914. The answer is worth 10 marks and contains grade descriptor for best answer.
For full grade desciptors, see my "History life after levels Grade Descriptor" resource.
Test students general knowledge of events, people and places from the origins of the cold war up to 1963 using these two revision activities.
Students mtach the letter to the appropriate number. The teacher can then go through the answers with them (these are included in the document for ease of use).
Each of the two activities can take anywhere between 20 minutes and 50 minutes depending on how much explanation and teacher input you wish to make.
Print, cut and laminate this as a bookmarck for History students at KS3 and KS4. It lists some of the best sites out there for revising History.
Alternatively, just cut and stick in books as an insert.
Students could complete this at the start or the end of a unit looking at the stages of independence for various British colonies. It could be sent as a homework at the start of a unit asking to students to find out the relevant information themselves.
Students are given a character card and fill in the worksheet. They then ask and answer questions of their peers to find out how the development of the railways affected them.
A list of ten key words and their definitions/meanings. Students need to match the appropriate word to its definition.
The key words are all associated with the first year of WW2.
