Hi welcome to my shop! I'm currently Head of Humanities, but I've also been head of department at a number of other schools, not to mention head of year. So I have a lot of high quality resources to share. I take real pride in trying to ensure my resources are well presented, clear, easy to use and of course challenging and engaging for the students. They have taken me a lot of time to make, but hopefully they will save you a lot of time. If you have any feedback then please review me!

This lesson explores the Just War theory and looks at several case studies to consider whether or not the War was justified (e.g. WW2, Vietnam, Gulf War etc.) It challenges pupils to apply the criteria set out to determin whether or not these wars (or any war) is justified. It also asks questions about the greater good, human rights and the value of life. A really interesting lesson.

It looks at the history, beliefs, practices and controversies surrounding Scientology. This lesson was been commended in a recent Ofsted report and has been praised by staff and students alike for being interesting and challenging.

This is a fantastic assembly that looks at how we spend our time. This can be used at any time but may be most effective at the start or at the end of the year when the students have an opportunity to reflect on their own use of time. It covers: -Where units of time came from -Why the calendar doesn’t make sense -How the calendar could be better -How people in the UK use their time -What we can learn from the regrets of people who are dying about their lives -Inspirational quotes This is a very popular and thought provoking assembly, and one of my favorites. Highly recommended.

Causes of WW1 - Outstanding Lesson

(1)
This is an outstanding lesson (this lesson has been praised by an LEA inspector, SLT, an AST and it has been highlighted in an Ofsted report). It uses a variety of different activities including a scavenger hunt, a diamond nine and teamwork.

Letter to myself

(2)
This lesson is most effective in year 7 or 8. Students are asked to write a letter to themselves to explain what they are like and what they want in the future. Then in year 11 (or 13) they open the letter and see how much they have changed and grown since the wrote the letter. A really fun and interesting lesson that shows how much the students grow while they are at school.

Year 7 Survey - Transition Questionnaire and Evaluation
laumorrowlaumorrow

Year 7 Survey - Transition Questionnaire and Evaluation

(2)
This was a survey I created when completing my NPQSL. I made it from an amalgamation of serveal other surveys I had seen used at other schools. It proved to be a useful and a powerful tool. I used it to gather information about how we could improve our transition procedures, but it could easily be adapted to find out what the students think of their school. A fantastic aid to pupils voice in school.
