Geography & History Around the World: Nicola's Shop

Average Rating4.46
(based on 14 reviews)

I love history, teaching and creating lessons, particularly on challenging misconceptions and covering global topics. I have a PGCE in History but during my teacher career have also taught Geography up to KS5. Outside of teaching, my passion is the Ancient Near East, which I studied at University. My Tes lessons therefore cover a range of topics: from ancient Mesopotamia, to medieval women, to the water cycle.

Rebel Queens: Matilda, Eleanor & Isabella

(0)
Four lessons about three infamous queens in the Middle Ages who fought against husbands and kings, demonstrating the determination and intelligence of women during times of oppression. The first lesson focuses on the general role of women in the Middle Ages and the life of Matilda. The second and third lessons focus on Eleanor and Isabella, and the fourth lesson examines the similarities and differences between all three queens. All the lessons have different, creative activities as well as opportunities for students to discuss and form their own arguments about the roles played by these queens. The final lesson ends with an opportunity to rethink how we should view women of the Middle Ages. All resources needed are included.

Medieval Women who Changed the World

(0)
A display (but can also be used as a resource) showing the many achievements of individual Medieval women. I have aimed to include women from around the world, for example from South America, Asia and the Middle East. I have also included women who are not well known, such as looking at Jeanne, who became a pirate during the Hundred Years War, rather than the more popular Joan of Arc. Each power point slide has images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual. The aim of this resource is to increase knowledge of the Medieval world and erase misconceptions of the role of women in history. The women included are: Khawla bint al-Azwar Wu Zetian Al-Khayzuran bint Atta Fatima Al-Fihri Aethelflaed Subh of Cordoba Murasaki Shikibu Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim Emma of Normandy Wallada bint al-mustakfi Hildegard von Bingen Moremi Ajasoro Margaret of Jerusalem Tomoe Gozen Khutulun Jeanne de Clisson Margaret I of Denmark Christine de Pisan Margaret Paston La Malinche

Modern Women who Changed the World

(0)
A display (but can also be used as a resource) showing the many achievements of individual modern women. I have aimed to include women from around the world, including from Europe, South America and Asia. I have also used women who are not often seen in the mainstream curriculum, for example sharing the biographies of the relatively unknown Sojourner Truth and Sarah Breedlove, rather than the more famous Rosa Parks. Each power point slide has images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual, with the aim of increasing awareness on some of the many achievements of women in history. The individuals included are: Manuela Saenz Kate Sheppard Mary Wollstonecroft Sirimavo Bandaranaike Wangari Maathai Ada Lovelace Indira Ghandi Ursula Kuczynski Sojourner Truth Emperor Cixi Valentina Tereshkova Shirin Abadi Edith Windsor Yoshioka Yayoi Evelyn Scott Ellen Johnson Jeanne Villepreux Rigoberta Menchu Tum Sarah Breedlove Nadia Murad

Ancient Women who Changed the World

(0)
A display (but can also be used as a class resource) showing the achievements of individual ancient women. I have aimed to include women from around the world, such as from South America, Asia and North Africa, and those who are not well known, for example looking at the achievements of Cleopatra’s sister rather than Cleopatra herself. Each power point slide includes images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual. The aim of this resource is to erase misconceptions of both ancient civilisations around the world and the role of women in history. The women included are: Enheduanna Hatshepsut Nefertiti Sammu-Ramat Naqia Gargi Vachaknavi Sappho Artemisia I of Caria Aspasia Artemisia II Zhuo Wenjun Arsinoe IV Livia Amanishahitu Cai Wenji Helena Hypatia of Alexandria Aelia Augusta Seondeok Lady K’abel
