First of two well presented and active lessons introducing the Romans (buy the bundle, it works out 2 for 1). Numeracy/Liteacy/Historical thinking settler (I use these as a standard settler - works a treat once they’re in a routine). Context slide (I like to have a tiny bit of teacher talk - just to set the scene and link today;s learning to what they’ve already done) Visual map activity - what do we already know? Think/Pair/Share Writing comprehension task Cartoon creation and story sort. Group discussions of the advantages of Rome’s position + class feedback.

Made during the 2020 lockdown for remote learning it is a pretty comprehensive resource (if I may say so) that covers the whole topic and includes: 18 tailor made teacher videos 18 factsheets on the 18 key topics 18 literacy/essay writing challenges* (1 per key topic) 5 Google Quizzes (and printable versions) 1 Stretch and Challenge Project It took a very long time to produce and I am very happy to now be able to share it I would suggest setting it as an ongoing revision or homework task, the teacher videos mean that it can be used for self study also. The target audience was mostly for international school settings so I have tried to use accessible language where possible and each topic comes with a set of keywords to develop vocab skills. If you spot any mistakes please contact me via the website above and if you think it has come in useful I would love to see your reviews on the TES (makes me feel a bit better!) Hope it helps! As a man with a great beard once (sort of) said: Teachers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains. *The essay writing questions are loosely based on Edexcel IGCSE style questions but the approach taken is quite generic so will suit all exam boards/national systems. Russia and its discontents The 1905 Revolution  The Russian Dumas  Russia and the First World War  Rasputin  The February Revolution 1917  The Provisional Government  The Bolsheviks  The Bolsheviks Come to Power  The Bolsheviks & The Constituent Assembly  The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk  The Russian Civil War 1918 - 1921 Why did the Reds win the Civil War?

Lesson outline: Recap activity – building on last lesson and cementing learning of keywords. Video Recap (if nec) Think/Pair/Share of Int 1 and build on class discussion with the table. Same for Int 2 and encourage discussion and debate of the provenance (use keyword slide to reinforce the theme of the lesson) Comparison activity (resources on ppt) – completing the table as they go – working in distanced pairs – covid restrictions applying. Feedback and place interpretations on the reliability line Create presentations with ref. to 3 of the sources. Use PEEKA paragraph writing skills (As before) to write their final conclusions on the question using the sources.

A lesson designed to take students through the causes and events of the Falklands Conflict and end with a developed paragraph discussing the factors behind the British victory. There is enough content here to easily stretch across 2 (if not 3!) lessons. It has also been successfully taught to KS2 and 4 - but also to Sea Cadet groups across the UK. It is a topic that is rarely taught in schools - but one that is fascinating and gets students engaged. A useful lesson for the end of term or as part of a wider study on Thatcher’s Britain and/or the Cold War. Lesson sequence as follows: Where is the Falklands? Guess the location. Why was it invaded? – Quiz Quiz Trade Thatcher’s response  Reading comprehension The task force  Match up task The taskforce  How would you structure it? The Belgrano  Right or wrong? The battle and landing events  Relay. Factors for success  Diamond 9 Pick a factor and turn it into a PEEKA paragraph.
