This lesson has been designed as an introduction for a KS3 class studying Medieval African History. The primary focus of the lesson is on how historians interpret history and have mislabelled early medieval history as a dark age. It also investigates why past historians have chosen to ignore or interpret Medieval African history to justify the Transatlantic Slave Trade or European Colonisation.
When you download this free lesson, you will be able to download a 17 slide PowerPoint Presentation which includes information slides, historical sources, starters, plenaries, tasks, activities and templates. Depending upon the ability of your class, I have also included a missing word activity that can be used instead of the questions on on the historical interpretations. I have also upoaded a PDF version for people who may not have PowerPoint. For more information, please see the preview.

These resources / unit of work looks at why the Nazi persecution of the Jews became more extreme from 1918 - 1945?
The first few chapters look at the status and position of German Jews in 1918 and then moves on to look at the Nazi rise to power and the propaganda, economic, legal, physical attacks on the Jews from 1933 - 1938. Each chapter is designed with revision and summary sections. I have also included my smart notes with aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters and summary diagrams to accompany the booklet which you can adapt as you go along.
The next section then looks at the impact of the war on the next stage of the attack on the Jews by looking at the forced segregation and isolation through ghettoes, which was followed by the work of the Einsatgruppen Battalions as the German Army advanced into the USSR.
My booklet then asks the question why did the Nazis then decide to move to a 'Final Solution' before moving onto the industrial methods and tactics used to murder the Jews through 'Destruction through work ' and 'special treatment.'
The final section or conclusions then explores some of the historical controversy surrounding how far the German people should be blamed for the persecution of the Jews.
If I have quoted from a primary or secondary source then full attribution has been given whenever possible.
Some of the key questions or learning outcomes, which these resources explore are listed below:
• What impact did the FWW and Treaty of Versailles have on Germany?
• How successful was the Weimar Government at bringing economic and political stability to Germany?
• What was the status and position of German Jews in 1920?
• What impact did the Great Depression have on the support for extremist parties in Weimar Germany?
• Why did Hitler become Chancellor of Germany in 1932?
• How did Hitler consolidate his power in 1933 – 34?
• How did the status and position of Jews change from 1933 – 45?
You need to know about:
• What rights did German Jews have under the Weimar Constitution?
• Why did hatred of the Jews increase from 1919 – 1933?
• Why did the Nazis launch a propaganda attack on the Jews?
• What impact did the economic attack have on the Jews 1933 – 38?
• What impact did the legal attack have on the status and position of Jews living in Germany?
• Why did the Nazis launch a physical attack on the Jews in 1938?
• What impact did the Second World War have on the Jews in Europe?
• Why did the Nazis introduce the Final Solution in 1941?
• How did the Nazi regime use industrial methods to persecute the Jews in the Holocaust from 1933 -45?

This great little resource is designed to be printed off and stuck around your classroom clock as a motivational aid :-)
The resource is supplied in PowerPoint and can be edited. I have left the blue circle guide in, just in case you want to customise it further, but I would recommend deleting the circles before printing.
I have added the image to the right to show off a different design - my version should wrap around your clock once you have printed it off in either A3 or A4.
Have fun and enjoy!

This outstanding lesson has been designed to help students studying population movement 1750 - 1900. It had been field tested and refined many times and is a really fun and engaging lesson, which has a really big impact of students. It can be used with the full spectrum of ability as it includes a range of tasks and activities which can be selected in whole or part to suit your students. You will need access to You Tube in order to be able to access the song.
When you download this lesson you will be able to access a Microsoft Word document which contains the lyrics to the song ‘Dalesman’s Litany’ and PowerPoint. There is enough work to fully engage a normal class of students for at least one lesson.
The PowerPoint facilitates the lesson and includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, a snowballing starter. The next couple of slides set the scene and explains why Britain’s population was on the move. This is followed up by two source activities which could be print off and completed as an investigation or used as part of a class discussion to help set the scene for the main activity. The next slide is a pro and con thinking skills organiser on the problems facing historians when they use oral history as evidence. This could be competed as an activity or as a plenary. I have included a completed version at the end of the presentation.
The next activity involves playing the song by clicking on the hyperlink in show mode. I personally would give students a copy of the lyrics to annotate but if you are short on the photocopying budget then you can get around it by getting them in pairs or groups to write down the jobs / places that the person in the folk song has done / lived to help illustrate the impact of the changes on peoples lives…
The aims and objectives for this lesson are:
Theme: Why did Britain have an Industrial Revolution 1750 - 1900?
Know: Why was Britain’s population on the move 1750 – 1850?
Understand: What factors caused this change?
Evaluate: How useful is oral history as evidence about the past?
WILF: What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: Why was Britain’s population of the move?
Explain: What factors caused this change?
Analyse: How useful is oral history as historical evidence?

Dingbats are a great starter, mini plenary or plenary that can add a bit of fun to any lesson, whilst helping students learn important key words for the lesson.
This great resource is designed to help students understand and learn about the different types of evidence that historians use as well introduce them to some of the key words that we use like biased and reliable. The resource has been provided them in Microsoft Word so you can easily adapt them for your own classes.
There are three main ways that you can use them. Game 1 involves getting students to read out the key words until the other guesses the topic correctly. Game 2 involves additional challenge and stretch by getting students to describe the topic without using any of the key words on the card. The third game, which adds an additional layer of fun or challenge involves playing a round of Pictionary or Charades.
I normally give my students 3 minutes of each round to help activate the learning and warm up the class. You could also have a freestyle round where students decide which game they want to play linked to their learning style. If you are trying to engage some under achieving boys, add some competition and get them to keep score in the back of their books.
I would recommend printing them off on card and getting your students to cut them out. Then put the cards into an envelope for class use.
If you are a student then keep them in your pocket and use them as a flash card to help you learn the key facts, If there is a term that you do not understand then as your teacher or do some extra research.
From a revision perspective, you can print off the cards and get your students to learn the key words for a test or for their exams. These are a win, win resource. The kids will love them and they will help to improve your results.

This unit is designed to introduce students to the National Curriculum History as well as measure their existing historical knowledge and skills and set them individual targets for the rest of the term.
The first unit sets out classroom expectations and allows for an introduction to the course, whilst the second two units look at the important issues of how historians find out about the past using evidence. The tasks and activities have also been designed specifically to get students to structure their answers using PEE/ PEEL. This will be rigorously reinforced throughout the first half of Year 7 along with next steps peer assessment.
This scheme of works well alongside the Heinemann History series as referenced in all the resources. If you like these resources, why not check out my other schemes of work, with lesson resources that I have posted on the TES website.

This outstanding resource is built around the timeless 1990s BBC classic from the series ‘The History File.’ If you are new to the profession, then the basic concept behind the series was to place a young girl called Melanie into a Virtual Reality Museum and let her investigate various history issues. Funny enough technology has now come full circle with the latest VR technology. This is an excellent series, which will engage your most challenging students on those dark rainy days when the wind is howling around the school!
This video observation sheet was designed to be used with the episode called 'Britain, First Industrial Nation 1750 - 1850. I have included a link to the official HD version on YouTube.

During the Miners’ Strike, striking miners travelled to working pits in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire to become ‘flying pickets’. This strategy involved picketing outside coal mines to persuade other miners to join the strike.
There is an outstanding resource that explores the reasons behind this phenomenon. This resource has been refined and fine-tuned in the classroom over a period of 20 years. It was recognised for its excellence and received a national teaching award from Becta in 2008.
Additionally, all the interviews conducted by the Doncaster Oral History Project, which provide valuable insights into the Miners’ Strike, have been uploaded to YouTube. These interviews, along with their accompanying teaching resources, have been bundled together and made available on the TES platform. This allows educators and students to access a comprehensive collection of tried and tested materials related to the Miners’ Strike.
When you download this free resource, you will recieve a four page PDF document that contains information, historical sources, interactive tasks and activities related to the topic. If you want a fully editatble Word version, along with an accompanying PowerPoint with aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, graphic organisers, word searches and a wider variety of differentiated tasks, then these can be purchased for the price of a cup of coffee from here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12976863
