I'm currently a teacher in a special needs school working with pupils who have ASD. I've worked in a number of age ranges, from 3-16. All of my resources are ones that I have used in class and have worked well! Although my resources are aimed towards pupil with ASD, they are easily and quickly adapted to use in mainstream schools too.

1950s till Now - Technology/Toys/School Life
Our history topic one half term was ‘1950s till Now’. I work in a special needs school for pupils with ASD, in class with pupils ages 11-15 and levels P6 - 2C. Due to this, I had to adapt my lessons to focus around topics that would engage pupils and relate to their own lives, hence the focus on technology, toys and school life.
Each lesson we would explore and engage with different physical examples from each topic, from the different decades. Then each lesson we would use the attached worksheets. The worksheets are based upon a sorting activity, where the pupils had to sort the different objects into modern day or older. They are differentiated with the further tasks, such as labeling the pictures or writing a description underneath the activity.
The following worksheets are included:
Toys - differentiated into LA/MA/HA
School Life - differentiated into LA/MA/HA
Technology - differentiated two ways LA & MA/HA
