Last year I achieved 94% A*-A in my IGCSE exam results. The year before it was 88%, making the History Department consistently high achieving and one which students want to sign up for. One of the main reasons for this is the detailed and focused set of revision menus I give to my students to help them prepare for exam success. Now you can have them too. Of all of my resources these revision menus are my must-haves! I hope they can be of much use to your students as they are to mine.

My students love finding these in their books! Not only are they prettier than my messy handwriting but they make marking much faster and more precise. Each of the twenty seven statements is based specifically upon common skills and targets from the curriculum and they can be personalised further if needed. Simply print off on sticky label paper et voila. They look impressive and work superbly well for the busy teacher who wants to fine tune their AFL.

I use this as an introduction to Historical skills for my 7th graders and it works really well. Students are given background knowledge and then handed the 13 sources in order. As they receive them they discuss what can be inferred from each piece of evidence and complete the history mystery grid. This is a great lesson designed to get students thinking and handling evidence. I hope your students enjoy it as much as mine do! It also works really well as a transition lesson for students coming to high school and perhaps studying History as a specialist discipline for the first time. This activity sets students up really well for a piece of follow up Historical writing.

Covering a range of topics. Just print out in A3 and laminate et voila! If you enjoy this set of posters please look through my site which has heaps of outstanding resources for the busy History teacher.

This incredibly detailed set of notes will boost your students’ subject knowledge and is teeming with evidence. The pack also provides a 15 question activity for students as well as a bonus task for those who require an additional challenge.

My students love using these as a revision tool and also as an in class activity. Each of the eight hand-shaped cards has a key topic about the Collapse of Peace on it and each finger has a name/date/quote/statistic/fact on. Students learn precise supporting material which really boosts examination success. These aides can be reversed so students can test each other by reading the answers first and guessing the topic also. Once cut out and laminated they make a very handy and mobile revision aide and knowledge on them is extremely precise and exact.

This is the most detailed lesson pack on TES in terms of prohibition and gangsterism. Purchasing this will give you an exceptionally detailed set of notes and three different activities for students to engage with. I have also included PowerPoint starter and plenary activities so the entire lesson is here for you. This is a gripping topic which my students always love and I hope your classes enjoy it just as much!

In this lesson students work through a ‘what’s behind the squares’ starter activity which introduces them to the horrors of the First World War. They then proceed to work through the detailed set of notes and use this knowledge in the main activiation tasks (questions to test comprehension and a mind-map activity) before testing their chronological understanding of the notes in the ‘play your cards right’ plenary. My students always love this lesson and it is a great introduction to life in 1920s USA. I’m confident your students will love it too.

In this lesson students work through fantastically detailed notes before completing a range of written activities and comprehension questions. This lesson also features a ‘play your cards right’ style plenary to check chronological understanding.

I take great pride in these posters and know how much better they make my classroom look and so I hope you find them useful too! I cover my classroom in them each year and often get cited as the best looking classroom in the school. They cover a range of topics and periods and have deliberately been designed to stimulate thought and discussion in the History classroom. Many of the posters have a quote with either a picture or fact which contradicts it. Others are designed to be hard hitting and in some cases provoke outrage. Using these posters will improve the texture of your teaching by ensuring students are constantly immersed in a rich learning atmosphere/environment. Also, as I create new ones I constantly update this pack. Just print them off in A3 colour and laminate et voila! I have included them as individual documents so they’re easier to print but have also included the original PPT in which I created them in case you want to add any of your own within the original fonts etc.

This is one of my most detailed IB lessons. Students are introduced to the topic with a hard hitting starter (please use with discretion) to introduce them to the idea of chemical weapons and to make links over time. They then read through the extremely detailed information pack before completing a range of source activities designed to help them with IB Paper 1 source handling skills. Students then test subject knowledge with the charade cards provided and conclude with a plenary PPT. I hope your students get as much from this lesson as mine always do.

This is one of my students’ absolute favourite lessons. They are given the starter activity ‘sellotape challenge’ and are asked to design a castle defence on their desks. Following this students then proceed to work through an incredibly detailed set of notes which outline the key features and changes as well as reasons for this. The cloze / scaffolded activity then tests and measures comprehension. I really hope your students gain as much from these activities as I know mine always do. These activities are fantastic for setting up a ‘build a castle competition’ - the kind of showcase event that brings great kudos and energy to a History Department!

These two sided front sheets look great when attached to student work. Moreover, they save teacher time and increase the level of precise feedback received by students. They have been designed specifically for the IB History course. I hope your students find them as useful as mine do.

This is one of my favourite lessons. Students read through a very detailed set of notes focusing on the roles of Gorbachev, Reagan, economics, Solidarity and people power. Students then test their understanding of their newly acquired knowledge through a game of Jenga (attach the cards to a block - students place them into factors using the colour coordinated bricks. This activity can also be done as a more traditional card sort). Students then complete the lesson with a word search to promote key terms and literacy. I really hope your students enjoy this as much as mine do. It is pitched at very able 16-18 year old students.

In this lesson students begin by exploring Maoist propaganda of a source using the OPVL technique (origin, purpose, value and limitations) before moving on to work through a set of notes about the Great Leap Forward and the Five Year Plans. Students are then given a job application activity where they need to apply for one of two jobs using the information provided. The lesson concludes with a game of bingo to test understanding of all the key words (emboldened in the notes). My students love this topic and I created this resources whilst teaching History in China so they mean a lot to me. I hope you will find them just as useful in your own teaching.
