This outstanding resource has been finely tuned for over 10 years and used to deliver many outstanding lessons right across my faculty. It has been so successful that it has attracted the attention of Hodder, Pearsons, Boardworks and Heinemann who have asked me to produce similar online resources for their text books. Each section of this booklet on the Liberal Reforms 1906 - 1911, includes revision notes, review sheets, activities, past paper questions and pupil mark schemes on the following sub topics of the OCR GCSE Modern World Specification from 2013: Structure of Edwardian Society Poverty & Lassie Faire Why did Poverty become a political issue? The Social Reformers Why did the Liberals win a landslide victory in 1906? Why did the Liberals Introduce their reforms? The Liberal Reforms Opposition to the Liberal Reforms How Effective were the Liberal Reforms? I would recommend printing this resource in a saddle stitch format on A3 paper if your reprographics person can do it. Importantly for everyone studying this topic, this resource includes a detailed section on ‘Why did the Liberals win a landslide victory in 1906?’ which is not covered in the official text books but is on the new 2013 specification. After reviewing each section, I would recommend that students complete the relevant past paper questions, swap and mark each others work using the pupil mark scheme and then improve their answers for homework.

This unit is designed to allow students to investigate how William consolidated his control of Britain after the Norman invasion. It starts by looking at the 'Harrying of the North' by William and how he ruthlessness wiped out all opposition to his rule. The second unit looks at how he rewarded his supporters and tightened his control by introducing the Feudal System. Whilst studying this unit it is important to emphases the importance of doing 'homage' and taking the 'oath of allegiance' as William placed considerable importance on this aspect. His key justification for the Norman invasion was his claim that King Harold was an oath breaker and that his victory was a vindication of the just by God. The fourth unit looks at the Domesday Book and how land and wealth was distributed. Please make sure you point how to your students how much land and wealth was given to the Church as the Pope had supported his invasion. The final two units look at the roles played by different types of castles in helping William consulate his control and finishes off with an assessment based around students writing a formal letter to their local Lord suggesting why a Square Keep Castle would be better than a Motte & Bailey Castle. This resource is best used alongside the Heinemann History series which is referred to in the scheme of work. However, for an extra £10 you can download all my lesson resources, aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, literacy resources etc. that support this scheme of work, just search for How did William Keep Control Scheme of Work with lesson resources.
