This GCSE History lesson explores the Nazi Economic policies and evaluates how successful they were. It was created for a lesson observation and earned an outstanding rating (when they still gave ratings!) The resources include a starter, a plenary, sources, a table, a powerpoint and two possible assessments. An interesting and strong lesson.

This Anti-Racism assembly or tutor time presentation is a very popular and highly effective assembly looking at the root causes of racism. It also highlights why racism is ridiculous and what we can do about it. It highlights many of the major stories in the world today (from Brexit to Megxit to Trump to the refugee crisis) to show how they all have a racist background (You may wish to update this slide with the latest stories of the day, but that is up to you). The assembly also looks at DNA and how we are all interconnected in ways we aren’t full aware of. This include a fantastic video which explains our DNA journey. It includes tips on how to combat racism and quotes about race (from Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King) A thought provoking but really interesting assembly.

This is a Loop revision activity for Medicine Through Time. It works on the same principle as flash cards, but the key words on one side don’t match the definition on the other side. In order to complete the Loop they need to find the student who has the key word that matches their definition (read the instructions below). It is a really fun activity that I mainly use for revision but can be used as a starter, a plenary or a fun activity. Instructions for use: 1 - Download and Print off the sheets. 2 - Cut around the outside edge of all the cards. 3 - Fold over the cards in the middle and glue them so on one side you have key words and on the other side you have definitions. 4 - Laminate the sheets (optional) 5 - Cut out the individual cards. 6 - Give out ALL the cards (at least one per person) 7 - Choose a random student to read out their definition, the rest of the class listen and whoever has the correct key word SHOUT IT OUT! 8 - This second student then flips over their card and reads aloud their definition. 9 - You keep going until you complete the loop and get back to the first student TIP 1 - To make it more effective and more competitive you should time each successful loop and post the times. Get the students to compete to try to beat their past times and other classes times. TIP 2 - Want to make it more difficult? Make the students swap cards every time someone makes a mistake or every time someone calls out. That way they will follow the rules and be forced to learn all the cards.

This assembly or tutor time presentation covers the history of anti-semitism and the reason why HMD was established. It includes a script (in the notes under each slide and in a seperate document) which explains each slide clearly but in some detail. It covers the 2023 HMD theme ‘Ordinary People’ and covers its relevance in the world today. The presentation looks at the reasons for anti-semitism and how this racism was turned from prejudice, to discrimination, to persecution, to genocide. It also looks at more recent genocides in the 20th and 21st centuries, and discusses why people still hold racist attitudes and ideas today. It finishes by looking at what we can do to combat racism in our every day lives. A really interesting, well presented and well made assembly.

This is an outstanding assembly and has proven to be perhaps my most memorable and most popular assembly. It has been designed to encourage the students to break out of their comfort zone and take a chance on something new. It was originally created for year 11 students to challenge them to try revising for their GCSE exams, but it would work just as well with other year groups and for other topics. This assembly does involve a lot of preparation before hand, but it is worth it when you get the reaction from the students afterwards! It essentially involves the teacher eating dog food to prove a point! (like all good magicians there is a trick involved with this!) This has consistently proven to be a roaring success at every school I have presented it at, and it remains my most memorable assembly. This assembly can be adapted and modifed to make it ‘safer’, but I would highly recommend following the instructions and well… taking a risk on trying something new! If you use this assembly, please leave a comment!

Was colonialism good for India? While the question might seem obvious the students will be asked to use their critical thinking skills to investigate sources of information. They will be asked to consider why so many people in India still debate whether colonialism was actually a net positive for Indian development. That is the central question at the heart of this excellent lesson the encourages students to learn the history of India and try to identify the positive and negative contributions Britain made. Well worth a look!

This lesson covers Moses return to Cairo, the ten plagues, his freeing of the slaves, the parting of the Red Sea and the ten commandments. It also gets the students to debate the 10 commandments, and how they would change them given a chance. It also introduces an element of British Values by getting the students to consider why we have rules and laws, and what society might be like without them. A fast paced and interesting lesson. Highly Recommended.

This lesson looks at how enslaved people used music to challenge the authority of their masters and send coded messages to others to help them to escape. The students will learn some of the code words and what they represented. It uses some of the most famous songs (such as ‘Swing low sweet chariot’ and ‘Amazing Grace’) and dissects the lyrics to understand the true meaning of the songs. It helps the students to appreciate how difficult it was to be enslaved and how the seemingly small acts of resistance could make a huge difference. An interesting and important lesson that deals with a sensitive topic carefully. The lesson ends with the students having the opportunity to write their own song of resistance.

This is a fun revision activity designed for students studying GCSE History. It can also be used for KS3 or KS5 as part of a lesson. This is based on the popular New York Times Game Connections this fun revision game is designed to help the students to prepare for the exams or end of year assessments. The topics I have included are: -Medicine -The Cold War -Elizebethan England 1558-1588 -Weimar/Nazi Germany The game is simple; Students need to group together four words and figure out what the connection is between them. But many of the words can fit into multiple groups so they need to be careful. **I have included an answer sheet to make it easier for the teacher! ** As a bonus I have also included a blank template so students/teachers can make their own connections. This could also be used for other topics/subjects. It can also be used for KS3/4 or 5. If you like this resource please rate and review it!
