Images and adaptations for starter / movement activities. Simply ask learners to identify the people who have been blurred. They can be themed - for example, US presidents - have 'odd one out' tasks (only one was republican,Lincoln) or just be a general knowledge exercise.
This is a tried and tested activity for classes of all abilities following a GCSE History course that includes a Medicine through time unit. It has previousl been used as both an introductory exercise (able groups) and as a revision exercise for mixed classes. It highlights the various types of beliefs and treatments available in the Medieval period whilst also showing that there was a class divide. The activity was designed to be completed in an hour long session in a large classroom. It works best with tables and chairs rearranged. This activity inspired some of the activities included in my work published by Hodder Murray.
Information sheets that are rich in images. Accompanied by activities and assessment for learning prompts. Ideal for GCSE classes studying medicine through time but adaptable for use in Key Stage 3 where a study of medicine, science and culture is being undertaken. These resources can be used alongside my other renaissance medicine resources or as standalone resources. They are easy to differentiate through use of the prompt sheets.
This combnation of resources can be used as a standalone lesson on aspects of Islamic Medicine. The primary activity is a series of source based questions. This is supported by two prompt sheets t aid assessment, peer evaluation and development of learners' awareness of ways to answer different types of questions.

These resources are for GCSE Medicine Through Time teachers. The pack contains aoverview of the main charecteristics of the period and the way in which Medicine developed at te time. Accompanying resources allow learners to record teir findings about key events, continuity and changes at the time in a number of ways, thus allowing differentiation. The activities include examples.

They provide learners with an eye catching insight into the changes that occurred in Russia in the early twentieth century and provide a platform for discussion and study of the Revolutinary period.

They are aimed at GCSE Modern World History classes and are best used as an introduction to the topics.
These three worksheets are for Primary school teachers and learners. They cover the Home Guard, The Changing Role of Women during the war and The Home Front in General. The learning objectives for these worksheets would relate to gaining an understanding o what life was like during the war; understanding of change and developing a sense of period. I have used them for mid to lower ability learners. There are useful videos on youtube that work well alongside these resources. See my youtube channel - dmoorhouse1973 - for my own supporting video materials.
These three resources are designed to help learners quickly develop confidence in ther Secondary school history lessons. Easy to print and laminate as desktop workmats, or to place on display, they outline basic chronologies and illustrate some ways in which to start answering questions in an accurate and considered manner. They include 'fun facts' and are colourful to make them appealing to Year 7 learners.

Using a range of sources and historical data, learners investigate and record the spead of the Great Plague. This provides them with a god understanding of the methodology of the day along with developing their awareness of the varied types of views held at the time. Data rich, this activity also illustrates how destructive infectious diseases could be and provides the basis for much discussion about changes in towns and cities over time. There are various activities within the pack which allows for differentiation or extension of the study over a series of lessons. Examples of audio visual presentations created by my classes as a result of this study can be found on my youtube channel or via the schoolshistory.org.uk website.

These two resources look at the story of the Norman Invasion through the Bayeux Tapestry. They can be adapted to include a sequencing task. Pupils are asked to check their understanding of visual sources by labelling segments of the tapestry accurately. More able learners can expand on the provided labels. The famous "death scene" is also assessed and acts as an exercise in introducing pupils to the fact that sources are easy to interpret in a number of different ways.

Simple, editable crib sheet. Covering the main areas of German Society this sheet prompts students to note the ways in which different sectors changed under Nazi rule. It also asks if there are any anomalies such as things improving for some of the time but getting worse at other times. In intervention sessions this sheet could be used to simply identify a few key points. For more extensive revision the sheet can be edited to enabled more detailed notes and/or additional areas to be covered.
The War of the Roses is a complex set of events. This infographic breaks down the course of the conflict into twelve core twists in the history of England at that time. Instead of simply listing battles and dates, it looks at clusters of events and identifies in accessible terms the way that it impacted on the course of the War of the Roses. The timeline nature of the graphic allows learners to develop their understanding of the chronology. It can be used simply for display purposes or as a resource to be annotated with additional information. Dates, individuals, battles or links between different elements of the war can be drawn out in class discussion and added to the graphic. It is available as a jpeg and pdf to enable ease of printing and scalability for your own presentations.
Please see our other graphics on the War of the Roses to get a fuller picture of the events of this turbulent period. Additional information and subject related discussion of these areas can be found on our facebook page. Reference materials for teachers and learners on the Wars of the Roses are available here.
