The Computer Revolution -
Meant as a cross department study with the Humanities and ICT/Computer Science. This is 1 lesson from a series of 17 (see below).
Each lesson is well constructed and fully resourced (all resources contained at the end of each PowerPoint to avoid multiple files). Lessons include a varied sequence of activities building up content and skills to answer a large essay question in lesson 17 on the nature of change and continuity thanks to the computer revolution, and a speculative discussion of the impact of future developments.
The series also runs parallel to a 17 part ‘Guided Reading’ pack on the same topic. Each lesson is paired with an extended piece of computing literature – for ease these extracts have been included inside the PowerPoints but you can access the reading as a separate bundle, and for free at Wolsey Academy.
The lessons are as follows:
Enigma and Turing (free)
The History of Women in Computing (free)
The Microchip and Moore’s Law
The PC, GUI and Microsoft
How Video Games Shaped Our World
Mid-Unit Test and Revision
Impact of the Internet
Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies (free)

One lesson from a a 6 part series of lessons on the history and development of the environmental movement.
The lessons look at:
• Apollo 8 and the Moonrise photo

• The Montreal Protocol 1987 (The Ozone agreement)
• The Paris Climate Agreement 2015
• The global development of Green political movements
• The global development of environmental activism
Each lesson is self contained, with all the resources required at the end of the PowerPoint. They are brilliant for a case study at the end of Year 9 History or for a higher level study of politics.

Janesville: An American Story, by Amy Goldstein. 2017.
The 2017 Business Book of the Year. It tells the story of Janesville, Wisconsin, home of a large GM car factory – until it closed in 2008. This is the story of what happened next.
To understand modern America, you need to understand Janesville.
Teaching as I do mostly foreign children the view from outside is that America is still a land of wealth and opportunity. To see its people, react and vote, in a manner that suggests otherwise is deeply puzzling. Outside the country the US voter’s desperation for change looks merely like ignorance and hatred for everyone else. Outsiders need to understand that large parts of this once mighty nation have essentially been gutted thanks to globalisation and technological change.
This lesson hopes to address that need. With a strong focus on EAL needs and vocabulary it tries to tell the story of the negatives of globalisation. It is part of a wider mini-SOW on Globalisation I have made especially for EAL students. I’d highly recommend teaching this lesson in the context of the wider SOW so students get a real appreciation of the larger forces at work.
Hope it helps.

Now including an online self-marking homework task
From a Scheme of Work on the Industrial Revolution. Target is KS3 but all assessments throughout are GCSE and use Edexcel criteria. Each lesson contains a lesson plan, quick start guide, printable resources, mini plenaries, challenge questions, mark schemes, writing frames, lots of differentiation, a nice mix of activity types and a lesson specific EAL activity sheet.

If used at KS3 it also acts as a grounding for any History of Medicine modules they might encounter at KS4 (hence the focus on public health and inventions).
The SOW covers the following topics:
Introduction to the Industrial Revolution (free)
Population Boom (free)
Factories
Coal Mining
Transport
Robert Stephenson
