A lesson developed through staff collaboration using Lesson Study. Look for the other similarly named lessons. - Fully resourced - Fun and interactive - Designed for all abilities (including SEN) - Pair/Group work focused 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.

Two lessons on the Battle of Britain with a heavy focus on source work. - Simple to follow PowerPoint's help you see the plan of the lessons - 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.

A cross curricular SOW I wrote for my History department which worked alongside the Drama team. The pupils loved the fact they went to both subjects and explore the same topic.

A detailed SOW that includes: - Lesson Objectives and outcomes - Key questions to use for lessons - Coherent sequence of lessons that build up to an assessment - Suggested activities to use in every lesson This is a skills unit. You can easily weave the activities into your own lessons or use it as an introductory unit at the beginning of the year.

A full SOW with objectives, overview of suggested activities and outcomes. I have also included an assessment which has been updated with Emerging/Mastery etc. assessed responses. This also includes an essay structure for pupils to use. I run this in Yr9 as a Development/Thematic unit in preparation for the SHP GCSE unit the following year on Crime or Warfare.

A superb lesson I have used for numerous observations before. It works well as it is well paced, has group work and helps pupils consolidate their knowledge at the end with some extended writing. You need some sugar paper or plain A3 would do. Stick the picture of a Motte and Bailey castle and the Stone Keep castle on either side of the sheet prior to the lesson. A good plan of how to run the lesson is below: Starter: A map image is displayed showing Norman castles that were built by William the Conqueror. Pupils asked questions about the map e.g. What do the locations of the castles tell you about England at the time? New Learning: Learning objectives displayed and pupils record the relevant one for their target grade into their exercise books. Pupils watch a short clip about Norman castles and then answer some questions about them with the aid of a PowerPoint slide. Learning development: In pairs, use the sugar paper to explore, analyse and consider the effectiveness of Motte and Bailey and Stone castles. Afterwards, pupils stick their own versions of the castles in in their books and complete a series of levelled activities. Plenary: Think of a 15 second sales pitch you would give William about why he should invest in each type of castle to help him control the English. Revisit Learning Objectives: Pupils consider how/why they have met their learning objective.
