I am a History teacher in the North West, and head of Citizenship in my school. I have been teaching since 2007, in four secondary schools across the area. In between times, in 2012, I taught as a volunteer teacher in Ghana, with English, French and Maths classes (you can read about my adventures in my book, Teaching in the Sun, available on Amazon). All of my resources have been extensively tried and tested. I hope that you, like me, are able to use them for good and outstanding lessons.

Town charter role play

Town charter role play

(0)
This is a resource for KS3. Students discuss what would go into a town charter and why these things would be wanted by townspeople. Students take on the role of a freeman in a Medieval town. There are 7 different people, they do not all need to be used. Students must read through the information on their character, and then decide what their priorities are for what goes into the charter. A debate can then happen where each freeman plays a role in deciding what goes into the charter. I would suggest having strict rules where each person speak for a fixed period of time with no interruption, and the allotted character writing the charter. This can lead to a piece of extended writing. There are differentiated version of both activities.

Prehistoric health and problems of archaeological evidence
lawriepeetlawriepeet

Prehistoric health and problems of archaeological evidence

(0)
This is a cut and stick activity. Students must decide which of the pieces of information relate to: • How healthy were prehistoric people? • How did prehistoric people die? • Why does archaeological evidence not give us a full understanding of prehistoric people? Students then answer the questions on the second side of the sheet, They are scaffolded for abilities, with more able students encouraged to think of what sources of information they would be able to use for other periods that cannot be used to learn about prehistory, and to suggest how else people could learn about prehistoric societies - eg. observing modern tribal societies in Australia, New Zealand, South America, Africa etc, or by reading Roman accounts of Iron Age Britain. This leads well onto class discussion on health through the ages. This can lead to a piece of extended writing.
