A fully resourced review lesson on the Norman Conquest that helps pupils recall and reflect on castles, feudal system, Domesday Book and the Church.
Activities are group and individual focused with a dice activity that gets pupils to think more deeply about the idea of control.
I developed these resources for a down syndrome pupil to help with inclusion in History lessons.

- Easily adaptable for own school curriculum
- Overview can be adapted for any pupil
A lesson developed through staff collaboration using Lesson Study. Look for the other similarly named lessons.
- Fully resourced

- Designed for all abilities (including SEN)
- Pair/Group work focused
** In this lesson you will need the white Crime and Punishment Through Time textbook in order to use the excellent Roman city scene showing the punishments. If you can't get hold of this you will have to adapt one of the activities or create your own scene**
Though this is designed for History, it is adaptable for any KS4 and 5 subject.
I found parents were really positive to have an A5 sheet to take away with key dates of the exams, links to revision websites/text and other information such as the specification.

I delivered the lesson as follows:
Starter: Inference Picture Task. Get pupils to try and suggest what may be happening in the picture (e.g. The White Cliffs of Dover suggests it’s in Britain etc)
Main Tasks: Quick question video clip in which pupils watch the film and write down some basic answers. This is used to set the scene.
Group Work: Get pupils into groups of 3. Prior to the lesson stick on one side of sugar/A3 paper the resources I have included (sources for invasion). Also pupils should read the 'Instruction sheet legionnaire' to gain an understanding of the task. Then give the pupils 15 minutes to plan. After this use the PP to bring up the scenario slides which may put a spanner in their planning. I do this every 5 minutes.
Plenary/Consolidation: Pupils are to use the sentence starters to write an extended piece of writing about the invasion of Britain. Also, use the link to the BBC to see how accurate the pupils were in their exercises.
A lesson that looks at significance and, in particular, individuals who are deemed important. Pupils watch the first 10 minutes of the BBC YouTube documentary on Brunel (Greatest Britons) and then debate using resources why he is deemed significant. They rate him according to criteria and summarize their thoughts.
These resources includes:
- A lesson on District 6 with a link to similarities with the film District 9
- A source based test on Apartheid
- Worksheets to help investigate key areas of Apartheid
An excellent way for pupils to capture how well they have done each time they try a source question. This has been made for the Impact of War on Britain GCSE History unit but I have left it adaptable so teachers can use it with any topic or any subject KS4 or 5.
- Stick it on the inside of a pupils book at the beginning of the unit
- Each time they do an exam question get them to write their mark and the date they did it on the grid
- Excellent way to either show progress or spot were pupils are having difficulties with certain types of exam questions so you can focus their revision
A revision presentation and test for KS4 pupils. Includes:
- Full test with allocated marks on an easy to photocopy sheet

- Easy to follow objectives which the students can measure progress against using a bar
- A mixture of activities that includes watching a video clip and filling out a data capture sheet, creating and playing a board game and extended writing

- Fun activity whereby students assess how dangerous the events where in the Olympics
Two lessons on the Battle of Britain with a heavy focus on source work.

- Fully resourced and ready to go
- Hand out the pilot names to pupils at the beginning of the lesson and they leave them on their desks. Then give them the outcomes sheets at the end so they learn the fate of what happened to them. Very thought provoking.
A double lesson will full resources that explores what Humanities means.
- Activities promote discussions
- Worksheets to help identify how geography, history and religious studies is relevant today
- Group activity gets pupils to talk about their lives and how they are connected. Teachers can use this activity to explore the world around us.
