This outstanding lesson has been designed to help students studying the historical controversies surrounding the campaign to get women the vote in Britain. The women’s movement was split between the peaceful suffragists on the one hand, who made up nearly 80% of women, whilst on the other there were the better known militant suffragettes. The lesson resources have been designed to suit the full spectrum of ability at KS3 and should work alongside any mainstream textbook or resource on this topic. However, I have also included a PowerPoint to accompany the lesson which includes all the necessary background knowledge for the lesson.

The Word documents includes aims, instructions, two heading cards labelled ‘Suffragette’ and ‘Suffragist’, along with 20 information cards that can be sorted under one of the two headings. Whilst the PowerPoint includes aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, information slides, links to appropriate video clips and additional tasks, including an alternative Venn diagram activity comparing the two groups of campaigners. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: Why did some women get the vote in 1918? Know: How were the suffragist and suffragette campaigns different? Understand: Why were their methods and tactics different? Evaluate: Which group was the most effective? Skills: Cause, Consequence, Evaluation and Judgement. WILF: What Am I Looking For?

’When giving feedback to A Level Students studying history it is important to be specific about what the student did well and where they need improvement. Is crucial to point out specific examples and illustrate your points by linking them to the assessment objectives.' It can be difficult to maintain a work life balance when you have a pile of A Level essays to mark. If you like me find yourself annotating work and writing your own mini essay in response to your students work, then the history academy might just have the solution you are looking for. The attached essay and source feedback sheets are designed to help you provide effective next steps feedback and save you time. When you purchase these resources, you will be able to download two feedback mark schemes for Section A and B of the AQA A Level History Syllabus. The first page of both the source and the essay feedback sheets contains a grid which breaks down the assessment objectives for each level. You simply highlight, tick and underline what the student has achieved. By looking at the next level, your students can see what they need to do next in order to improve their work. The second page contains a table with a space for writing a quick summary and then two sections saying ‘areas for praise’ and ‘areas for improvement.’ At the bottom of the page is a section for the students to write their response to your feedback. Both documents have been provided in Word and as a PDF. When completing these sheets, I usually type up my comments or occasionally copy and paste statements into the relevant boxes. I keep a copy saved in the students folder and attach a physical copy to their essay. These feedback sheets have been field tested many times since 2016 and have helped to significantly reduce my workload and many of my colleagues. Take a look at the detailed preview.

This PowerPoint is designed to span two lessons and includes 6 activities to help students assess the tactics that General Haig used at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The aims and objectives are: Theme: Why was there a stalemate on the Western Front? Know: What tactics did General Haig use at the Battle of the Somme in 1916? Understand: Why did the Battle of the Somme end in a stalemate? Evaluate: Was General Haig the 'Butcher of the Somme? Skills: Cause, Consequence, Source Analysis and Interpretation WILF: What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe - What happened during the Battle of the Somme in 1916? Explain - Why did Haig’s tactics fail to achieve a breakthrough? Analyse - How far was Haig’s responsible for the failure to break through in 1916? These activities include a snowballing starter, source analysis comparing John Laffin and the BBC’s Blackadder interpretation of General Haig, a contemporary cartoon analysis to assess public reaction in 1916, a summary diagram of why Haig tactics failed and a source analysis comparing the different perspectives of George Coppard and Haig of the progress made on the first day of the attack. I’ve also included a card sort activity which could be used as the basis for an assessment or extended writing on the topic. In all there are 40 slides which can be easily customised for your students. It could also be uploaded to a virtual learning environment and used as an independent learning resource for homework. Professional Knowledge For those of you who are new to the profession, this topic is controversial for a number of reasons. Firstly, the leadership of the British Army during the war is traditionally described by some historians as ‘lions led by donkeys.’ Please note that this interpretation first grew out a dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Versailles and the concept that the First World War would be the ‘War to end all wars’ in the 1930’s. Clearly by then, many of the sacrifices appeared to have been in vain with the rise of Hitler and the threat of war. However, in the immediate aftermath of the First World War, Haig was seen as a hero. He was also the man who set up the Royal British Legion and began the first poppy appeal. Secondly, this topic is controversial for many of our Australian cousins whose sense of national identity grew out of their frustration and anger over the disaster at Gallipoli. This has led to feeling that the British tactics were a complete failure in all theatres of war and has led to the writing of some pretty bad popular history by Australian tour guides like John Laffin in his book ‘British Butchers and Bunglers of WW1’ to almost justify the Republican Movement in Australia. Anyway, have fun and I look forward to your feedback.

This is a controversial subject with people from all sides advocating different solutions from longer sentences to rehabilitate prisoners to alternatives sentences based in the community.

Captain Cook reputation continues to be very controversial. At the time he was seen as a man of science, an explorer, a great navigator and adventurer. His death at the hands of the native people of Hawaii turned him into a martyr who died for the British Empire. However, in our post colonial times, his reputation has been called into question by people who suffered as a result of his actions. Historians are interested in these debates as they question the role and purpose of history and whose story we are telling in the classroom. Other counter that it is wrong to question the reputation of great men like Captain Cook as they didn’t have the benefit of hindsight and couldn’t foresee the consequences of their actions. This innovative and creative activity has been designed to help students assess the reputation of Captain Cook and decide whether he was a Colonial Hero or an Imperialist Villain. This activity involves giving students a card sort with sixteen statements to sort through and decide which statement they support. Once this has been complete, students can then have a go at answering the question: How far was Captain Cook a hero or a villain?’ They could do this in a project, an essay, or they could take sides and write a speech arguing either side. I have included links to two video clips, including the BBC Timewatch video. After they have completed the card sort, students could add facts to either side of the debate. Ultimately, this resource is highly adaptable and can easily be adapted to suit a wide range of learners. The aims and objectives are: Theme: The British Empire Know: What sort of man was Captain Cook? Understand: Why are historical events interpreted in different ways? Evaluate: Was Captain Cook a colonial hero or an imperial villain? WILF - What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe: Who was Captain Cook and why is famous?
