Nazi Germany (WJEC History) Lessons Bundle 2
This is the second bundle of 13 lessons I have prepared for years 10 and 11 GCSE history, WJEC. They all include settlers, starters, Kagan-type activities, videos and exam practice questions (the question, success criteria, model answer and peer/self- assessment included). I have also included homework and assessment materials.
Bundle
AQA GCSE Citizenship Bundle
This is a bundle of several revision lessons and Controlled Assessment materials for the AQA Citizenship GCSE Class. They all include settlers, starters, Kagan-type activities and exam practice questions (the question, success criteria, model answer and peer/self- assessment included). I have also included homework materials.
Revision activities for the Nazi Germany (Social Policies)
These are two lessons and an exam question handout that I have created to revise the social policies introduced by Hitler. The lessons orient on revising main information of this part of the topic and on practising completing exam questions (WJEC). I include the handout I have prepared for them to practice at home and to know what to pay attention to when answering each question (except for the 3 sources question).
Nazi Control: Propaganda and persuasion
These are two lessons on the other two types of control in the Nazi State: Propaganda and Persuasion. The Propaganda lesson includes a settler, a starter (modified exam question presentation technique that I started using from that lesson onwards), a model answer with success criteria, SPAG control slide, Keyword revision, All Read Round Robin slide to be completed together with the information worksheet attached, and an Oracy task based on Adolf Hitler's quote. The Persuasion lesson is rather short and includes all usual parts of the lesson (settler, starter, etc) and has a team challenge task in it. However, I did not manage to finish the Propaganda lesson initially so the end is exactly the same.
Nazi Racial Policy / Antisemitism
This lesson introduces the Nazi Racial policy and touches upon Antisemitism. It includes settler, starter, an example of how an exercise book is supposed to look like (a picture taken from the A* student's book), exam question with a model answer and success criteria, a slide showing how to justify the grade when self-assessing your answer (with a self-assessment slide), Learning outcomes, a slide introducing discussion of the racial policy in the propaganda posters (with some keywords), information research task (I enclosed the information sheet taken from the BBC Bitesize website), Oracy leader task based on the Hitler's quote and a recap activity on the asking students to put the events of the Hitler's rise to power in chronological order.
Persecution in Nazi Germany
This lesson is about Persecution in Nazi Germany. It includes a settler, an example of how students' exercise book is supposed to look like, a starter (scrabble task), learning outcomes slide, 'Make your own Quiz quiz trade' task (song above is taken from youtube and is used as a background why the students are completing the task), oral task to compare Aryan and Jewish families, Oracy leader task based on the quote by Adolf Hitler and a Think Pair Share slide in regard to the persecution of minorities.
Nazi Treatment of the Church
This lesson is about Nazi treatment of the Church. The lesson includes a settler, a starter (exam question with success criteria, model answer, peer assessment, SPAG control slides), learning outcomes, a slide to discuss the similarities / differences between Nazism and Christianity, information research slide (based on the page from the revision guide attached to this resource), a creative task (create a caption for the photograph of a Nazi Church) and Keywords revision activity.
Please note that the handout is the print screens of the WJEC GCSE Histroy revision book and I therefore claim no authorship for the same.
AQA Citizenship Controlled Assessment Stage 4 templates
These are the templates that I used as examples for controlled assessments for the Citizenship studies (AQA). The vast majority I have written myself with some help from the past work of students. I have tried to highlight the important points to mention and to show how it should look like.

Nazi Germany (WJEC History) Lessons Bundle 1
This is the first bundle of 20 lessons I have prepared for years 10 and 11 GCSE history, WJEC. They all include settlers, starters, Kagan-type activities, videos and exam practice questions (the question, success criteria, model answer and peer/self- assessment included). I have also included homework and assessment materials.
AQA GCSE Spanish - Writing (Foundation) answer strategy - Question 3
This is a template that I prepared for my higher year 8 Spanish students and early KS4 in relation to answering a Writing Foundation Question 3. Please note that this is a template and can be reused for different topics. This one is related to the topic of free-time / holiday activities.
Students begin by discussing the strategies and looking at the success criteria and marking scheme together with the teacher. They also revise some basic grammar rules (can be amended each time you do the task). They also look at the model answers and discuss usual mistakes and how to avoid / amend them. Then they play few verb conjugation games to revise some useful verbs. I included the snakes and ladders game as well as the dice game (see templates in the end of the presentation). They review their answers to the dice game using grammar rules and correct their answers. Consequently they work in pairs to prepare a response to another (but similar!) Question 3. Finally they do it individually and self/peer -assess their work.
Please let me know if there are any problems / ideas!
A set of 3 lessons on Christian Traditions
This is a set of three lessons for the KS3 RE class in relation to Easter, Christmas and the stories of Moses and Noah. The lessons include starters, challenging Kagan activities, and some of the introduce PEE structure to the students with sentence starters and assessment criteria for peer/self-assessment!
AQA GCSE (KS4) / KS3 VCOP - Spanish Literacy Mat
This a VCOP / Literacy Mat that I have prepared for my KS3 and KS4 classes. I prepared it to reflect AQA examination criteria however I believe Spanish language does not change in-between different examination organisations so can be used for different ability students studying for different types of exams. It covers 39 different grammar structures including main verb tenses and popular structures that I recommend my students use for their writing, speaking and reading practice (and learn to identify when listening). It is partially differentiated (see groups highlighted in 3 colours - blue for Core, green for Extension, red for Killer). Parts of the mat with green background represent the most popular verb tenses and verbal structures.
I have included the most useful (in my point of view) opinions, adverbs, exclamations, connectives, linking expressions, quantifiers, time expressions, question words, V1 + V2 structures, subjunctive and conditional phrases, gerunds and few more expressions that worth few shiny points if used during the exam. I have considered it would be useful to include the endings and explanation on how to follow adjectival agreement rules, use correct articles and pronouns. In relation to verb tenses, providing there is not as much space as it seems to be, I have included the verb tables for present simple (regular and irregular + self-reflexive), imperative, immediate (near) future, ‘will’ future, regular and irregular conditional, past simple, imperfect and past perfect (for those who are truly passionate about grammar.
If you wish to add something just amend / move few boxes and you will be done. If printing, I would recommend to do so on A3 to ensure that all of the instructions are clearly visible.
Note: to remove ‘Preview’ just select it and delete - it is just one text box. Let me know how it goes and what you think!
GCSE Spanish- 6 Starters -Cultural/SMSC (differentiated -5 levels)-Speaking, Reading, Writing skills
This a set of Starters with answers that could be used either for the lessons from the topic of festivals and celebrations or as a stand out SMSC - Cultural starter. I included answers so that children can check their answers. These are mostly for higher y8 or for KS4 lessons, differentiated (CORE, EXTENSION, KILLER, SUPERKILLER, LEGEND). All of the instructions are in Spanish.
They can also serve as a template to create your own tasks - just change the text and (slightly) the questions.
First Starter is on the topic of San Fermin and includes an authentic text from the ‘La Vanguardia’, an on line newspaper. The examination focus of this starter is Reading. Second Starter features similar tasks but a different text, also authentic.
The third one is on the topic of La Tomatina and is essentially a Role-play task with success criteria. It therefore focuses on Speaking.
The fourth one is a Photo card Starter on the topic of Aste Nagusia (or festivals in general) with help and instructions and therefore can be used as a Speaking / Writing activity. Fourth one follows the same idea but is designed for the topic of holidays.
The fifth is a grammar starter for any holidays topic and its focus is the Past Simple (preterite) and the Future SImple (‘will’). We use Viva books so I included help boxes as a reminder for those who do not clearly remember the endings.
The sixth starter focuses on Reading (parts B and C). Students translate and analyse the adjectives in the Wordle.

Spanish Grammar / Vocabulary Games KS3/KS4/GCSE - Foundation and Higher
This is a collection of grammar games that I decided to share. I would use them for pretty much all age groups, both KS3 and KS4, GCSE both tiers. They can be easily amended to suit the grammar topics that you wish to reinforce / revise / introduce. The templates can also be easily reused for French.
See enclosed:
Snakes and ladders slide (you can amend the squares and it is short enough to serve as a 5-10 minutes activity;
Tarsia slide and template - an activity to use to revise topic / key vocabulary. Students can either create their own or just cut the one you prepare for them. They need to then match the words / expressions in English with their Spanish equivalents.
The dice game to revise verbs conjugations (differentiated). I included a slide with rules of the game, a template to create your own and an origami instructions to make it more hands on.
Photo card scrabble (related to AQA GCSE speaking / writing tasks). I originally thought of this as a game prior to completing an exam task for KS4 students. The pack includes a slide and a scrabble board if you wish to organise an extended activity. Students need to come up with words related to the image, the words should contain 3 or more letters and they should be in Spanish!
Dice conjugation (differentiated) - I would mostly suggest it for KS4 students as it is easier to differentiate. Students have a board with verbs and they need to roll dices to ascertain the personal pronoun that they apply to the infinitive on the board. My students totally loved it!
One dice, one pen (un dado, un boli) - (differentiated, AQA Reading Section C / Writing Part 3 Higher / Foundation) - Students roll dice in turns to translate the sentence correctly! If the partner throws 3 he takes over a pen. The winner is the one who collected the most points. I used it with KS4 to facilitate the exam translation tasks. I also included a set of slides that I used to emphasize certain grammar points.

GCSE Spanish - SMSC / Cultural -El Carnaval - Photo Card (AQA)
This is the lesson that I have prepared for my higher y8/ and y9/y10 in relation to the topic of Spanish culture (Festivals & Celebrations) and is mostly related to El Carnaval. I used it as a general topic to look at the photo card task (speaking / foundation writing). The starter focus is reading - students complete differentiated tasks in relation to an authentic extract from on line newspaper.
Students will then learn new / revise already known vocabulary on the topic of carnivals/ festivals using Quizlet and Quizlet live tools. Then they recap on the success criteria for Speaking Q2 / Writing Q1 - Photo card- and complete a photo card task based on a photo of a carnival celebration together. They jot their thoughts first, play a catchphrase game and then prepare their responses in pairs on the second photo card. Finally they complete a third photo card task individually and self / peer assess the same. In-between the photo cards I inserted some verb games to make the lesson more fun for the students and not to let them get bored.

AQA GCSE Spanish - Speaking / Writing (Foundation) Photo card answer strategy
This is a template that I prepared for my higher year 8 Spanish students and early KS4 in relation to answering a Speaking Photo card task which can also be used for explaining how to complete Writing Foundation Question 1. Please note that this is a template and can be reused for different topics.
It starts with a Quizlet slide to revise (whilst being engaged!) some vocabulary prior to looking at the task. There are various Quizlet word lists available so you can just change the QR code and link if another list of words is needed. Then Students together with the teacher discuss the strategies and look at the task, success criteria and marking scheme and jot their thoughts in relation to a given Photo Card. They then play a catchphrase game in teams to reveal the phrase hidden behind (NOTE: when replacing the top centre image copy the animation from on of the coloured boxes around (Animation tab, animation painter), so that when you click on the image it does disappear similar to the coloured boxes around.)
Then they work in pairs to prepare a response to another (but similar!) photo card. Finally they do it individually and self/peer -assess their work.
Please let me know if there are any problems / ideas!
AQA GCSE Spanish - Role Play answer strategy
This is a template that I prepared for my higher year 8 Spanish students and early KS4 in relation to answering a Speaking Role Play task. Please note that this is a template and can be reused for different topics.
It starts with a Quizlet slide to revise (whilst being engaged!) some vocabulary prior to looking at the task. There are various Quizlet word lists available so you can just change the QR code and link if another list of words is needed. Then Students together with the teacher discuss the strategies and look at the task, success criteria and marking scheme and revise question words and how to form different types of questions in Spanish. They check their knowledge of the latter by way of completing a quick test and check their answers / discuss mistakes. They then jot their thoughts on a similar Role Play task in pairs (using grammar help - note: we use VCOP mat so if you have one you will need to change the numbers of the grammar points, if not you nees to delete few bits, the examples of structures are provided anyway) and complete in in writing individually . Then their ‘Time Pair Share’ the Role Play and self/peer -assess their work.

AQA GCSE Spanish - Reading Section C - SP-ENG translation (Foundation) answer strategy
This is a template of a set of activities that I prepared for my higher year 8 Spanish students and early KS4 in relation to answering a Reading Section C Foundation task (SP-ENG translation).
Please note that this is a template and can be reused for different topics. This one is related to the topic of festivals and celebrations.
First of all students discuss the task and top tips with each other (All speak / write round robin) and then move on with discussing separate phrases in terms of grammar. Then they use the help / hints to translate the text individually. Then they check the answers, discuss them with each other and self-peer assess their work.
Please let me know if there are any problems / ideas!
Research project (Motivational triggers) for KS3/KS4 French AQA - Christmas project
This is a research project lesson (or two lessons really) that I created for my KS3/lower KS4 French students. The idea is to promote independent learning via research. Students have to research information about French Christmas, compare the traditions with the ones in Britain and to create a presentation / poster. Students decide on the task, the roles and start researching relevant information using their iPads (one of the students needs to summarise the information that others found). There is also a designer and an analyst (usually the most attaining student in the group. Enjoy!
