They are based upon some classic interactive resources that have never failed to engage my students over 30 years. These have been updated and If you have previously purchased this lesson, it was updated in December 2023, so you should be able to download the free updates.

The PowerPoint includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, information slides, historical sources, diagrams, templates, writing frames, quizzes, word searches and a wide range of differentiated tasks that mirror the information in the two work sheets. The PP also includes a section called extra resources that you can dip into if you wish. I have also unloaded everything in PDF as well.
