Why did men join the Crusades?

Easy to understand activities and information about reasons for men to join the Crusades. Writing assessment is highly scaffolded, for students to choose the most important reason and explain why.

Jack the Ripper - facebook page

A resource I created that worked well with a year 8 class I teach. This was used in one of the later lessons as part of the Jack the Ripper SOW, when pupils have covered Jack's victims, the conflicting witness statements etc. As an extension task, pupils can write the message that Jack has in his inbox, helping to develop their creative writing skills

What happened at the Battle of Passchendaele?

(3)
Trash and treasure exercise allows students to gather a high level understanding of the events of the Battle of Passchendaele without a teacher-led lesson. Diamond Nine activity encourages students to develop high-level thinking skills. Plenary allows students to reflect on their learning \n\nNB: 'The Head, Heart, Bin, Bag&' plenary has been adapted from one that a user from the TES community had previously posted.

Significance of Little Rock 1957

(5)
Differentiated lesson that uses sources to consider the significance of events at Little Rock Central High School in 1957 (i.e. what impact it had on the Civil Rights Movement). Originally delivered to a high ability Year 8 class, though it can be easily adapted to suit a GCSE group.

Fall of Berlin Wall / Soviet Union

Revision lesson. Starter = anagrams. Main activities broken up into 3 different episodes. You will need A3 paper to issue to students for mind-map exercise. Revision notes were handwritten - if I can get hold of a scanner I will try to upload them.
How did Religion Change (Henry VIII - Mary I)?

How did Religion Change (Henry VIII - Mary I)?

(1)
This lesson is suited to students who have covered the changes in religion under Henry VIII and Edward VI previously. An excellent way to develop students' critical thinking skills. Starter: Students complete the table on PPT slide 3 (I usually print the table out for studnets). Main: students are split into groups and given copies of the Robert the Preist mystery sheet. They must use the sheet to decide what Robert decided to do once Mary became Queen. They will present their findings to the rest of the class.

Cold War project

PPT slides we use to get students to complete independent project work about the Cold War in Year 9. We've found it helps students recall key information about the The Cold War when studying it at GCSE level.
