A range of revision questions for the Yr 11 Ancient History end of course exam that students can use to practise and focus their studies. Relates to the following topics:*Core- History, Sources, Science and Archaeology*Case study- Ancient Human Remains*Site Study- Deir el Medina*Site Study- Ancient Thera

Fun and engaging activity that could be used as a lesson starter or part of a range of lesson activities. Targeted at Year 10 History Cold War studies but suitable for all high school students. Part 1- give students the word list sheet only for them to fill out (print the first two pages 2 into 1- half per student ) and get them to fill it out (guide as necessary). Part 2- give them the next 2 pages (print two into one again two sides per student) and get them to write the list of words they created in order to make a twisted version of this history story. They can then share their story with a friend and complete the questions. ENJOY! Students love this activity. The same idea could be used with a range of history stories (but pick the text and audience to ensure it is respectful where appropriate). Already weird chapters of history work best for this.

A range of tutorials, worksheets and activities to explore historical concepts including What is History? Asking Historical Questions (Who? What? Why? When? Where? How?) Timelines and dividing the periods of history, heritage, conservation, anachronism and archaeology.

ALL DUE CREDIT HERE: I’ve added to and modified PPT by TES SECONDARY TEAM (which they in turn adapted from alainchristian’s on TES Connect). Isn't sharing ideas and borrowing from others what us teachers do anyway? I’ve added more slides and information and adjusted some sections. I’ve also added a 'trick' question to test if students really know the definition of an anachronism; the photo is certainly something you don't see everyday. Also added- accompanying worksheet and another file with some useful video URLs (hyperlinks removed as per TES requirements) for examples of anachronisms.
