Narrative Account Skills Lesson (Edexcel History American West 9-1)
Lesson aimed at intervention prior to examination, pupils develop narrative account skills as well as knowledge of the cattle industry - an area that, judging by SAMS material the exam board are keen to examine.
Pupils read the sample answer and pick out what is wrong with it

pupils create a word bank of connectives
pupils create a narrative account using step by step guide and template which can be found on the worksheet - PPT takes pupils through the account step by step so you can give your group as little or as much support as necessary.

REVISION CLOCK ANGLO-SAXON AND NORMAN ENGLAND ( Edexcel 9-1: Anglo Saxon and Norman England)
The concept of a revision clock is that pupils spend five minutes completing each section - thus meaning they revise a large amount of a single topic in an hour.
this resource includes two revision clocks, i plan to provide my pupils with it printed double sided, they will complete one side in class and one side for homework.
I have based these clocks largely on the Pearson purple revision guides, the clock follows the pages from front to back.
Another technique is to ask pupils to fill out what they know in one colour, and then use a second colour to revise using a revision guide or textbook, giving them a colour coded guide to what they need to focus their revision on.
