A series of lessons based on the AQA Geography A Level module of changing places. These lessons examine regeneration in different ways, including the rise and fall of Detroit, the regeneration of different cities for the Olympics (Beijing, Rio and London) and small-scale regeneration of a Kent town. Exam practice and homework involving conducting surveys are included. Links for some of the resources are on the power point, but for a few of the activities a copy of the AQA Human Geography (AS and A Level) textbook is needed.

Lessons focusing on how useful different types of data and evidence is on learning about places in the UK, past and present.

To help erase misconceptions about Africa and its vast history, these 3 lessons on the Mali empire focus on its development, successes and failures, as well as the wealthiest man who ever lived: Mansa Musa.

All resources needed for these 3 lessons are included.

Specially made for Black History Month, these two lessons focus on 5 individuals who fought for the abolition of slavery, both in America and in Britain. A range of class activities allow pupils to be creative, discuss their views and develop their knowledge of abolitionists. These lessons also cover reasons why abolishing slavery was such a challenge and what might be done to end modern slavery. A piece of homework is also set at the end of the second lesson. As these lessons focus on the abolition of slavery, pupils should have at least some prior knowledge on the Atlantic slave trade and the abhorrent treatment slaves faced. I have also put a case study on Harriet Tubman on Tes for free, however it is not part of a complete lesson.

Information and activities on how World War One was a truly global war, focusing on the fighting in Africa and the African Americans who joined the conflict.

Most of these activities can be completed at home, in case pupils/year groups need to isolate. Topics covered include why World War One is seen as a global war, the victories of the Harlem Hellfighters, fighting in East Africa and how non-whites were treated after the war. All resources, including videos, are included.
