I have a wealth of resources that are aimed primarily at KS4 and KS5; however, there are some useful KS3 tasks that have been uploaded this year. Topics at KS5 include: Russia and its Rulers, 1855-1941; Later Tudors, 1547-1603; Popular Culture and the Witchcraze of the 16th and 17th Centuries; Italian Unification, 1830-1870; and Germany, 1890-1990. As well as History, I also have a few resources relating to Geography and ICT that some users may find helpful.

Popular Culture and the Witch Craze: Causes of the Witch Craze

(0)
Two resources to be used alongside other worksheets on the causes of the witchcraze. The first is a list of several causes that have been put forward for the witch hunts. Students will each take one and try to explain it on paper, the cards will then rotate around. Students can rank the causes by how convincing they find the explanations. Secondly is a summary table of the causes for witch hunting. Using the activity above, students can fill in their tables. This content is relevant for the new OCR unit on Popular Culture and the Witch Craze. This resource is intended to be used as part of a much larger bundle for this unit. See my shop for more details.
Earth's Story
PaulMidPaulMid

Earth's Story

(0)
A challenging worksheet focusing on 'Earth's Story' and what order things first appeared on Earth. This was used as an introductory lesson in Year 7 Geography; however, it could certainly be incorporated into Science SOW on Evolution, or as an introductory History lesson on chronology! The first half of the worksheet is relatively straightforward; however, some students may need supporting with the final question (Earth's story as a 24hr clock) as it is a tricky concept for some to get their heads around.
