Was Dick Turpin a Hero or a Villain?

(0)
This fun and interactive lesson is aimed at Key Stages 4 and 5 and looks at exploits of the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin. The aim of the lesson is to evaluate whether he was a hero or a villain. The lesson begins with a series of starters designed to get students collaborating and working together as well as a card sort on some of the popular elements around the story of his life. This is then followed up by getting students to analyse a historical narrative of his life, along side various historical sources and to pick out actions and events that would support whether he was a hero or villain. This is then followed up with an extended writing exercise, which is supported with various templates, planning sheets and PEEL writing frames. The extra resources section includes a heads and tails activity, word search, knowledge quiz with answers, wanted poster activity and a narrative & analysis activity aimed at sixth form students. When you purchase this lesson you will be able to download a 28 slide PowerPoint which contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, information slides, historical sources, link to a video clip, tasks, activities, word, starters, plenaries, organisers, writing frames and templates.

All documents have also been uploaded as PDFs, just in case you do not have access to Office or require a smaller document size. Please see the detailed preview for a sample of the lesson. The aims and objectives of the lesson are: WILF – What Am I Looking For? Can You Describe: Who was Dick Turpin? Can You Explain: Why he is seen as either a hero or villain?

Does Prison Work?

Does Prison Work?

(0)
This lesson aims to help students assess whether prison sentences work by looking at the experiences in the UK. 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. This card sort can be used with a range of abilities and has never failed to get my students excited, engaged, whilst improving their understanding of this difficult topic. The main activity involves getting students to cut out the cards in lesson, organise them into their most persuasive order under the two main headings and then sick them into their books. Once students have fed back their results to a class discussion, they can then have a go at the extended writing activity. Alternatively, they can create a key and then sort through the cards and then stick the sheet into their book or you could cut out the cards and place them into an envelope for them to sort prior to a discussion on the topic. This is a great resource that can be easily adapted to suit your classroom and expectations. When you purchase this resource, you will be able to download 19 slide PowerPoint which is designed to help facilitate the card sort which is in a separate single page Microsoft Word document. The Word document includes a learning objective, instructions, two headings cards labeled ‘Pros / Advantages’ and ‘Cons / Disadvantages’ as well as sixteen information cards to be sorted. . The PowerPoint contains aims, objectives, information slides, templates, tasks and activities to support the card sort. These are both fully editable documents which can be customized if necessary to suit your students. I have also uploaded them as PDFs. Once students have completed the main task, they then have the option of writing the script for a speech expressing their own point of view on the subject. The aims of this lesson / activity are: Theme: Crime and Punishment Know: How are people supported in prison? Understand: What are the advantages and disadvantages or sending people to prison? Evaluate: Does prison protect society from crime? WILF - What am I Looking For? Identify and describe - How are people treated in prison? Explain - What are the advantages and disadvantages or sending people to prison? Analyze - Does prison protect society from crime?

What problems faced Queen Mary in 1553?

(0)
This fun and interactive lesson looks at the problems that faced Mary when she became Queen in 1553. It is set against the context of the failed attempt by Edward VI and his advisors to put Lady Jane Grey on the throne and Mary’s popular decision at the time, to reinstate the Catholic Church. In one of the main activities which you can see in the preview, student’s study a diagram of Mary’s problems, they classify and identify how they are interlinked. This is followed up by a review of which problem was the most significant and an evaluation of how successfully she solved them. The lesson is aimed at KS3 and is suitable for all abilities. When you purchase this lesson you will be able to download a beautifully illustrated PowerPoint that contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, information slides, historical sources, diagrams, appropriate video clips, templates, tasks and activities. The activities include two classification exercises, a review triangle, questions, a word search and an alternative interlinking task based around a heads and tails exercise to designed to promote a class discussion. I would normally follow up this lesson by looking at the alternative Protestant interpretation of Queen Mary as ‘Bloody Mary.’ It is assumed that you have already studied teh break with Rome and Edward VI religious reforms before this lesson. For more information on this lesson, please see the sample preview. The aims and objectives are: Theme: The Reformation Know: Why did Mary decided to make England Catholic again in 1553? Understand: What problems did she inherit from Henry VIII and Edward VI? Evaluate: What were Queen Mary’s chances of success? Skills: Cause, Consequence & Collaboration WILF – What Am I Looking For? Can You Describe: Why Mary decided to make England Catholic again? Can You Explain: What problems did she inherit when she became Queen? Can You Evaluate: What were her chances of success?

At the heart of the debate is whether the dog is at fault or the owner. This card sort is designed to allow students to explore the arguments for and against the reintroduction of the dog licence, whilst developing both their debating and oracy skills.

Blitzkrieg - Lightning War 1939 - 1940

(0)
This outstanding resource, which has been tried and tested over many years is designed to help inject a bit of fun, engage and help students to understand why the German army was so successful from 1939 - 1940. Both the PowerPoint and the worksheet has been beautifully illustrated throughout and the tasks and activities are suitable for the full range of abilities. The planning sheet and follow up literacy exercise will keep your students fully engaged whilst providing a useful piece of work for assessment or display. When you download this resource you will receive a fourteen slide PowerPoint, a four page worksheet, a planning sheet to help students plan their own invasion using the Blitzkrieg tactics and a literacy task sheet that can be used in lesson or set as homework. The PowerPoint is designed to accompany the worksheet and contains the aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, pictures diagrams and links to video clips, that you will need to teach the lesson. Everything has also been uploaded as a PDF just in case you don’t have access to Microsoft Office. The key focus of the lesson is to look at how the Blitzkrieg tactics worked by looking at the different weapons and tactics used at each stage. The worksheet includes differentiated activities and questions, but the main activity is to get students to apply what they have learnt by planning their own Blitzkrieg attack in either pairs or groups using the supplied planning sheet. Everything is simply explained and you do not need to be an expert to be able to enjoy this memorable lesson. Ideally, I would spend two lessons on this topic, you can always miss out the questions or trim things here or there if you wanted to only spend one lesson, but that would be a shame but your students will love this topic! The aims and objectives of the lesson are: Theme: The Second World War Know: What were the key features of a Blitzkrieg? Understand: The differences between trench warfare and a Blitzkrieg? Evaluate: Why the German Army was successful 1940 - 1940 WILF – What Am I Looking For? Can You Describe: The the key features of a Blitzkrieg? Can You Explain: How the Blitzkrieg tactic was different to trench warfare? Can You Evaluate: Why the German Army was successful 1940 – 1940
