I provide resources for a range of Humanities subjects, mainly Sociology, Politics, and History, but also some Geography, Media Studies and Global Perspectives.
My resources have been the basis of my students achieving a number of Outstanding Learner Awards from Cambridge International Exams.

This document is a revision booklet to help students make links across the course. They could do it on the computer but I personally prefer to have them handwrite it so they get used to writing the key words. I know I’m not alone in having trouble getting students to use evidence in their answers.
Designed for DP Global Politics but can be adapted for use in other subjects/curricula
Very simple, very structured.
Two or three lessons worth here on Human Rights violations.
First lesson is dedicated to comparing Slavery in Mauritania and the UK. The rationale is to get the students to think of this topic in a truly global context.
Second and third lesson focus on different types of Human Rights violations and placing them in a theoretical and conceptual context.
Lots of videos. Links in the notes. Activities on sheets and integrated in.
This is a lesson on Cuba before Castro. It follows on from a lesson on Batista which I have included as well (no PPT with that one). It focuses on inequality and corruption in Batista’s Cuba and how it led to growing anti-government feeling.
There is also a TOK linkage with one of the sources being a clip from The Godfather Part 2.
The PPT is easily editable with no unnecessary gimmicks or over elaborate designs. The lesson basically teaches itself.
This is an early lesson for the Core Theme: Knowledge and the Knower unit. It focuses on QAnon and Trump, so the students should be able to access it easily.
Full set of tasks, videos integrated in along with discussion points. It leads into a wider invesitigation on Conspiracy Theories.
This is a series of four lessons designed to prepare students for writing the TOK Essay. They focus on:
Introducing The TOK Essay
Reasoning
Developing Claims and Counterclaims
Incorporating Evidence
Each lesson consists of multiple activities for students to engage in, as well as several opportunities to develop essay planning and writing skills.
Each lesson has a word document to work through and a PPT to guide the lesson. It is fully scaffolded and differentiated with extension activities embedded into every task. Other documents for group work are included as well.
This is based on the May 2024 Essays, but is futureproofed as you just need to change the questions in every cycle.
