A series of six lessons on comparing the American War of Independence, the French Revolution and the Irish Rebellion. Ends in students presenting their findings and assessing their group presentations. Also offers assessment opportunities throughout.

Planning sheets to help with the 16 mark question. All time periods are covered with the possible different topics that could be asked. Could be structured for lower attainers so that parts of the table are completed.

This was delivered as part of the NTP tutoring that has gone on in school. It will last longer than one hour. It does not cover all of the course but does get students to apply their learning and practice exam technique.

This was used as part of the after-school revision class and was delivered as part of the NTP tutoring with a small group of students. It is partially differentiated but can be further adapted for students with scaffolding (I have made notes about how this could be achieved).

A huge time saver when assessing, marking and providing feedback. The resource includes: questions divided into nine different historical skills differentiated question stems for years 7, 8 and 9 gateway questions for enabling easy transition to AQA GCSE History than can be adapted for other exam boards success criteria for answering the question suggested writing frames student friendly mark schemes ready-made detailed feedback for each skill and year group

These are a series of question stems based on AQA GCSE History. They provide success criteria, writing frames and student friendly mark schemes. There are different question stems and mark schemes for each year group. These link with my other GCSE ‘How to’ guides. This will enables familiarity with question styles prior to starting GCSE History. The question stems could easily be adapted for those schools taking Edexcel GCSE History.

Fully resourced and differentiated lesson that looks at the Triangular Trade and Middle Passage.

This lesson is an overview, learning about the origins of the British Empire in preparation for a topic on the slave trade. It could also be used as an introduction to a topic on Empire.

A fully resourced and differentiated lesson that looks at the societies and economies of Africa prior to the 17th century. Consider the connection with Europe. There is also a literacy activity that looks at the kingdom of Benin in greater detail. Can be used as a challenge activity in class or as homework.

Full instructions for students covering all questions on paper 1: question stem assessment objectives covered a brief list of what to do (and sometimes what to avoid) suggested writing frame student friendly mark scheme (this will allow them to self and peer assess more easily)

A presentation with some generic documents designed to save teacher time: Marking and assessment sheet that can be used for self, peer or adapted for teacher assessment and feedback. Step-by-step instructions for students to check literacy and presentation. The teacher would design a WAGOLL sheet (What A Good One Looks Like) to enable students to identify www/ebi before they write a feedback response. A sheet designed to help foster independent learning when completing a task. A book check list for students to complete before handing in book for marking. Whole class marking feedback. This has saved me hours marking and the feedback I get is so much better. Instructions on using reciprocal reading in history (can be adapted for other subjects)

Two ideas to scaffold group planning for a question.

A presentation with eight ideas for retrieval practice. Teachers can edit the presentation to suit their topic. Also works to aid with revision.

AQA GCSE History Paper 2. The presentation provides the question number, the assessment objectives followed by a simple overview of how to achieve low, mid and high marks. This provides students with a useful overview. *If you are an examiner and would like to suggest any improvements and/or amendments then please let me know.
