The History Academy has commissioned these resources to help commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Miners’ Strike, 1984 - 1985. We asked Roy Huggins who was Head of History at Mexborough School for 27 years to create these resources based upon his first hand experience of working with the Doncaster Oral History Project, former miners and teaching this important turning point in Modern Britain,which has become a ‘hidden’ or ‘forgotten’ history due to the uncomfortable issues that it raises about policing and civil rights.

This unit is designed to allow students to investigate the Norman invasion and build upon the source skills that students began to develop in the introductory module.
The first three units looks at why the Romans, Saxons, Vikings and the Normans have invaded Britain. From a geographical point of view Britain has always been a rich country because of our temperate climate. This allows farmers to produce up to three crops per year, unlike our European counterparts. This makes Britain a rich prize for any War Lord. It is important to stress that British society was multicultural by 1066 as emphased by the place names activity.
Units 4 to 7 deal specifically with the Norman Conquest and are primarily focused on the key question, why did William win the Battle of Hastings. Each unit is carefully crafted to get students to write a PEE’d / PEEL’d paragraph addressing the key question. Students must be trained up into peer / self assessing their answers.
This package of resources includes all the PowerPoints and worksheets that I use with this scheme of work. They are sold separately on this site, so to buy them all together at a discount price is a real bargain!
In terms of differentiation, the aims, objectives, outcomes and starters allow for students to access at different levels. The worksheets include DART strategies, missing word, true and false statements etc. as well as high end questions. Feel free to adapt to suit the needs of your students.
These great resources look at a range of topics including the Roman Army, Hadrian’s Wall, Roman Roads and Trade in the Empire. I’ve also included some card games as well which make great starters and plenaries.

These outstanding resources look at key issues during the controversial Reign of James I. They begin bylooking at the problems that he faced during his reign and the impact of the break with Rome and include his relations with Parliament, The Divine Rights of Kings, Money, taxation and religious problems.
The issue of the religious problems facing James I is explored via both the Gunpowder Plot and The Pilgrim Fathers. Whilst interconnected with both these problems is popular beliefs and superstitions which is explored through my resources on Witchcraft.
The overarching theme to all these resources is their link to not just the consequences of the break with Rome but ultimately the causes of the English Civil War.
