I have a wealth of resources that are aimed primarily at KS4 and KS5; however, there are some useful KS3 tasks that have been uploaded this year. Topics at KS5 include: Russia and its Rulers, 1855-1941; Later Tudors, 1547-1603; Popular Culture and the Witchcraze of the 16th and 17th Centuries; Italian Unification, 1830-1870; and Germany, 1890-1990. As well as History, I also have a few resources relating to Geography and ICT that some users may find helpful.

Restoration England: The Second Dutch War & Medway Raid

Restoration England: The Second Dutch War & Medway Raid

(0)
Two resources for teaching the Second Dutch War as part of the new AQA GCSE topic, Restoration England: 1660-1685. Included is a summary diagram of the Second Dutch War to get pupils understanding the major battles and why both sides were victorious/defeated at each stage. Also included is an in-depth look at the Medway disaster. The handout covers the causes, events and results of the raid; a clear map has also been included to aid students (source: WikiCommons). This resource is intended for revision (it is much simpler to follow than the text book); however, it could also form the basis of a lesson activity. Students could answer questions on the content and stick the sheet into their books.
Suffragettes Visual Sources Activity/Worksheet
PaulMidPaulMid

Suffragettes Visual Sources Activity/Worksheet

(0)
Two worksheets for KS3/KS4 to encourage students to analyse/evaluate visual sources. The content relates to the Suffragettes and the sources show the Women's Suffrage movement in a positive and negative light. Students are tasked with describing the sources, picking out key symbols and inferences. The grid would be a useful group activity where students can analyse the pictures in groups and rotate these every few minutes; the postcard task can then be set for homework.

Lancashire Witch Trials, 1612: Timeline and Family Tree

(0)
Two activities to run alongside the OCR or Edexcel Textbooks on the witch craze. This is designed specifically for the A Level Topic: Popular Culture and the Witchcraze of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries from OCR. Students can read the text book (and read around the topic), adding detail to their family tree. What were the relationships? Who were the characters? What happened to each of the accused witches? They can also fill in the timeline using the information from the text book and other sources. This resource is intended to supplement other resources on the Lancashire Witch Trials.

World Revolutions - Full Year 9 Scheme of Work

6 Resources
A full term of resources for teaching a unit on ‘World Revolutions’ (could also be adapted for a more-able Year 8 class, if pursuing a three-year GCSE course). Students explore the American and French Revolutions before researching a historic revolution of their choice (as part of an independent research project culminating in a ‘poster slam’). They then complete a synoptic comparison of all three revolutions to spot common themes. Included are lesson packs covering each aspect of the ‘World Revolutions’ unit. Each lesson pack includes a PowerPoint (with integrated videos, worksheet screenshots and activities), individual worksheets and contemporary sources (where required) These resources were originally designed for paperless teaching on OneNote; however, it will work perfectly for exercise book teaching (simply replace ‘on OneNote’ with ‘in your exercise books’ on the slides). No textbook needed!

Elizabethan England - Government

(0)
Resources relating to the AQA 9-1 GCSE Option ‘Elizabethan England: 1568-1603’.

There are also practice exam questions included in the slide (usually 1-2 per topic). This is part of a larger bundle covering the entire unit, which can be purchased from my shop. This resource was originally designed for OneNote teaching; however, it can easily be adapted to exercise book teaching in under 5mins. Simply change the phrase ‘in OneNote’ to ‘in your exercise books’ on the PowerPoint. The course textbook from Hodder is required to go along with this PowerPoint.

Empires & Migration - Scramble for Africa

(1)
A full week/two weeks of resources for teaching the Scramble for Africa to Year 9 (could also be adapted for a more-able Year 8 class, if pursuing a three-year GCSE course). This is part of a wider ‘Empires and Migration’ topic. Included is a lesson pack covering this aspect of a scaffolded ‘Empires and Migration’ topic (brought down from GCSE - other lesson packs available on my shop!) Each lesson pack includes a PowerPoint (with integrated videos, worksheet screenshots and activities), individual worksheets and contemporary sources (where required) These resources were originally designed for paperless teaching on OneNote; however, it will work perfectly for exercise book teaching (simply replace ‘on OneNote’ with ‘in your exercise books’ on the slides). The Oxford and Hodder ‘Empires and Migration’ textbooks are needed to teach some aspects of this range of resources! (However, these are not widely used and activities could easily be adapted).

History Handbook Template

(0)
A detailed History Handbook that can easily be tweaked to suit your school's Department. Included is information on relevant policies and I have highlighted in red the things that will need to be tweaked/filled in to make this document relevant to your school. This is an extensive document (30 pages, hence the price) that took a long time to put together. I have left in marking grids and SOW that I feel could be useful. I hope this is helpful!
Earth's Story
PaulMidPaulMid

Earth's Story

(0)
A challenging worksheet focusing on 'Earth's Story' and what order things first appeared on Earth. This was used as an introductory lesson in Year 7 Geography; however, it could certainly be incorporated into Science SOW on Evolution, or as an introductory History lesson on chronology! The first half of the worksheet is relatively straightforward; however, some students may need supporting with the final question (Earth's story as a 24hr clock) as it is a tricky concept for some to get their heads around.

Popular Culture and the Witchcraze of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

16 Resources
Several resources relevant to the OCR A Level unit, Popular Culture and the Witchcraze. Included are revision diagrams, worksheets, maps, tables and graphs that cover both popular culture and the witch-hunts. These resources will supplement work from the Access to History textbook, which is needed to complete some of the note-taking activities. These resources are primarily for use as revision aids and possible homework/class activities. As this is a new specification there are no stand-alone units of work out there; however, I hope these resources help!

Russia and its Rulers: 1855-1964
PaulMidPaulMid

Russia and its Rulers: 1855-1964

(0)
Revision/Summary table for the OCR Unit 3 topic: Russia and its Rulers, 1855-1964. The idea of this worksheet is to help students plan and write thematic essays. Students need to complete the table by bullet pointing the main social, economic and political events from each period. They then need to colour code the bullet points based on 6 'mini themes' (that are often the focus of exam questions). Using this colour coded system, students should be able to easily spot the trends going through the course and can pull this out when planning an essay question.

A revision table to be used in preparation for Qs 1a and 2a of the A Level Russia exam. This table lists some of the key topics that students may be given in the question; they must then list the factors involved in causing this event. Included is a set of possible factors that they may put for each section, although this is by no means comprehensive. They can then use this table for question practice, by choosing two of their factors and writing an answer comparing them.

Included in the booklet are inspiring quotes about History, an overview of the course, space for student quotes and a table showing the % breakdown of the GCSE (assessments etc.) This booklet was used for the new AQA specification; however, it can easily be adapted to suit any combination of topics from AQA or any other exam board.
