This bundle is the third part in a series of lessons I have created for AQA GCSE 9-1 Britain: Health and the People, c.1000-present. I have taught this course for more than 20 years now and have again decided to completely overhaul my lessons to bring them up to date with the latest teaching and learning ideas I have picked up and with a focus on the new 9-1 GCSE.

The lessons will allow students to demonstrate (AO1) knowledge and understanding of the key features and characteristics of the period studied from the brilliance of the surgical skills learnt during wars and conflict to the growth of the pharmaceutical companies such as Wellcome.

With the National Curriculum in mind, I have created a set of resources which focus on the study of an aspect or theme in British history that consolidates and extends pupils’ chronological knowledge from before 1066.

It makes connections between crime and punishment through the ages such as between Roman and Modern periods. Students will be introduced to key concepts of change and continuity between Anglo-Saxon and Norman Crime and Punishment as well as the causes and consequences of the Christian Church and its influence on punishments. Students will analyse sources in the Stuart period and analyse different interpretations of terrorism through the ages. They will be able to use historical terms and concepts in more sophisticated ways such as retribution and rehabilitation. Finally they will be able to provide structured responses and substantiated arguments, giving written evidence and context to their extended writing. The 11 lessons are broken down into the following: An introduction to Crime and Punishment Roman Crime and Punishment Anglo-Saxon Crime and Punishment Norman Crime and Punishment Tudor and Stuart Crime and Punishment Crime and Punishment in the 18 and 19th Century The Whitechapel Murders Modern Crimes Modern Punishments The case of Derek Bentley The case of Ruth Ellis Each lesson comes with suggested teaching and learning strategies, retrieval practice activities and are linked to the latest historical interpretations, video clips and debate.
