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.

The Early Modern Witch Craze: Powerpoint Presentations
PaulMidPaulMid

The Early Modern Witch Craze: Powerpoint Presentations

(1)
Five Powerpoint presentations introducing the study of witchcraft for A Level students. I used these as part of the AQA Historical Enquiry module (hence the date range, as it is roughly 100 years between two Acts). I now intend to use these for the new OCR Popular Culture and the Witchcraze unit to introduce some of the key topics. These presentations are designed to be a starting point for anybody wishing to study the early modern witch craze. Due to the breadth of the topic, there is inevitably going to be more information that can be added to these. Please note that these are just basic introductions to the topic and should be supplemented with other resources.

(0)
A 60+ page booklet with detailed teacher notes relating to the Edexcel A Level unit: Germany, 1871-1990.

These notes have been taken from a variety of textbooks and history books; they are the perfect aid for teaching this unit or could be used to supplement existing knowledge. The knowledge and content here can be easily adapted to suit other exam boards.

A handout and PowerPoint presentation created in support of the Edexcel AS Level unit: The Unification of Italy, 1830-1870.

Ideally this would be blown up to A3 and a map of Italy has been included for reference. Also included is a detailed, completed copy of the handout using a number of text books. Lower ability students could be given this to support note taking or this could be shown on a projector and talked through in class. To accompany these materials, I have put together a detailed PowerPoint presentation to introduce the content. It provides an introduction to the subject as well as a summary of the 1830 Revolutions.
