China: Conflict, Crisis and Change 1900 – 1989. Designed for the Edexcel IGCSE Breadth Study but features a wide range of activities and approaches, and is in depth enough, that makes it excellent for all China history courses. It is a standalone SOW (e.g. you don’t need to refer to a text book) and each lesson is self-contained, with all the information and resources required to deliver at least a Good rated lesson if not an Outstanding one. Assessment & activity types are introduced and revisited based on a retrieval grid to ensure maximum learning and imbedding of skills and knowledge. Each lesson is estimated to take 45-60 minutes to complete but in my experience many can stretch over 2 or even 3 lessons depending on teacher judgement. Each lesson features as a minimum: Numeracy & Literacy challenges. Keywords (to add to a student glossary). EAL support sheets. Stretch and challenge activities. Teacher Quick Start Guide. Literacy support mats. Homework extension task mats. Context slide for the lesson. Part 1: Lessons included: China History IGCSE: Intro to China & Course Set Up. (with online self-marking quiz) China History IGCSE: Boxer Rebellion Causes & Events China History IGCSE: Boxer Rebellion Consequences & Reforms China History IGCSE: The 1911 Revolution China History IGCSE: 4th May Movement China History IGCSE: Sun Yet-Sen, Chiang Kai-Shek & Guomindang China History IGCSE: Recap Lesson 1: 1900 – 1926 (with online self-marking quiz) China History IGCSE: The United Front & The Communist Party China History IGCSE: Expeditions, Massacres and Exterminations 1926 – 1934 China History IGCSE: Recap lesson 2: 1926 – 1934 (with online self-marking quiz) China History IGCSE: The Long March 1934-35 China History IGCSE: Consequences of the Long March

Henry II & Becket. A mini 3 lesson SOW looking at the church, Henry II and Becket’s murder. The module excellently introduces the idea of church v crown and provides the contextual knowledge needed for later study of the English reformation and other ‘power’ issues the English monarchy faces. Works well as a stand alone SOW but is also integrated into the free to play History game world at Wolsey Academy (check it out if you haven’t already!) Each lesson contains a literacy & numeracy starter, teacher narrative context pages (chance for you to do some storytelling !) plenaries and a range of active learning episodes. EAL and literacy support mats included with each lesson. The 3 lessons, along with the main lesson activities, are as follows: Church & Crown (graphic based church mind map discussions/source question/leaflet productions/Consult the Codex) Henry II (Timeline questions/round room source activity/Henry poster activity/Consult the Codex) Becket (chronology card sort/consult the codex/descriptive writing activity/cartoon strips) Hope it helps. Remember – works best when the students are playing the (free!) Becket game and completing the codex at the same time (perfect ongoing homework task or ict room lesson).

A lesson from the Scheme of Work for ICT EDEXCEL: IGCSE Unit 5 Applying ICT The lesson includes: An 8-12 minute video screencast by the teacher (me!) instructing students how best to use the lesson and providing greater knowledge, insights and understanding into the key concepts. Literacy/Numeracy/Think settler Kagan Activity for keyword acquisition (Quiz-Quiz-Trade or Relay activity) A main activity dependent on the key topic. A plenary. A set of lesson specific keyword cards. An EAL keyword focus activity sheet This lesson was made during the Covid19 lockdown and therefore is geared for distance learning with every lesson including an instructional video by the classroom teacher (me). Therefore, it is probably best used ‘out of the box’ as a series of homework tasks (it’s only a small unit compared to some of the others). However, I have put the ‘in class’ activities (like Quiz, Quiz, Trade or group activities) in the ‘resources section’ at the end of the PowerPoint so each lesson serves a dual purpose – it can easily be used as an out of the box self-study/homework resource or can quickly be edited for use in classroom by dragging those activities out of the resources section and back into the main part of the lesson. The entire Module 5 SOW includes 7 lessons in all that cover the entire of module 5 for EDEXCEL ICT IGCSE exam Correct use of software types Types of Data Software purpose, part A Software purpose, part B Checking tools Software evaluation End of unit Revision: A range of activities, all 23 key word flash cards & a self-marking online test. This module and modules 4 & 6 are in a totally new style to the previous Wolsey Academy ICT IGCSE module lessons (modules 1- 3) and, as you can see, include a wider range of activities and are presented in a much clearer and colourful way for ease of use. Hope it helps.
