Introducing Live Marking and Feedback CPD presentation

(0)
‘Live marking and feedback’ is the idea of marking or giving feedback on students’ work ‘in the moment’ - which cognitive science research tells us is incredibly effective in moving learning forward and addressing misconceptions before they become embedded. This presentation takes staff through the rationale behind it, the practicalities in its implementation, and the different ways it can be done. We have introduced it and in addition to helping our students make greater learning gains, it has reduced staff workload dramatically. This policy is for forward thinking schools who are looking to introduce evidence-informed practices into their school environment, benefiting students and staff alike. This was something that was really well received when it was presented and live marking and feedback continues to go form strength to strength as more practitioners begin to see its value when done well.

What is the 'Classical World' - An introduction to Ancient Greece (& Rome)

What is the 'Classical World' - An introduction to Ancient Greece (& Rome)

(0)
This lesson is designed to be the first lesson for students who have no prior knowledge of Classics/Classical Civilisation/ The Classical world. It will work well as the first lesson for students who are studying Classical Civilisation at GCSE. it is designed to give students a real sense of period so that they can contextualise their learning in subsequent lessons. All worksheets referred to below are included as whole slides in the .pptx file and are located at the specific point in the lesson when they are designed to be used. The lesson begins with a discussion surrounding what ‘civilisation’ means. This is followed by a worksheet to be printed A5 size (pictured) which introduces students to the Geography of the area. It is deliberately more visual than ‘wordy’ in nature as students can stick it in and refer back to it when they need to know where Italy/Greece are in relation to the UK. A discussion surrounding BC/BCE and AD/CE then follows in terms of interpreting dates. A timeline with empty boxes is then included for students to fill in in their books. On this timeline is already printed some famous events in history that students will probably have some prior knowledge of. The point of this excercise is to see how BC/BCE dates work (backwards) and to show the Greeks and Romans existed a long time before anything else they will have studied in History lessons. It also allows students to see that the Greeks preceded the Romans at their peak. Another gap-fill exercise follows (with answers) which introduces students to basic information about Ancient Greece (There is no further information on Rome in this lesson as it is assumed students will progress onto a thematic study of Ancient Greece following this lesson). A video link explaining democracy is also included as a final thought for the lesson with student coming up with their own definition of democracy at the end. This will help them analyse Athens’ democracy in later lessons.

This resource is a pretty comprehensive summary of all the knowledge required for OCR A Level Ancient History Republic and Empire: Breakdown of the Late Republic unit (H407/21): The form of the Constitution The challenges to the Constitution The means by which politicians achieved success and their importance in the breakdown of the Republic Social and Economic relationships and their importance in the breakdown of the Republic The roles and importance of individuals in the breakdown of the Republic At 20,000 words over 30 pages, this resource goes into detail about every topic on the specification, and explains how each topic is relevant and specific to the time period in question. These were really useful for my students for a number of reasons. For my top students who were anxious that they had covered every corner of the course, these provided much needed reassurance. For my students whose attendance was a little sporadic, these notes allowed them to easily fill gaps in their knowledge. For the lessons close to exam time where students were keen to be ‘spoon fed’ the key knowledge, these notes came in incredibly handy. They are detailed and can really be used as you see fit with your students according to their needs and your context. They also provide a pretty helpful teacher guide to refer to as you teach, as they helped me as I planned my lessons to make sure I was covering all the necessary key content as I progressed through the year. Thanks for taking a look and hopefully these notes provide your students with the help they need and help you you save some much needed time and stress in the run up to exams, or over the course of the year :)
