How and Why did events in Cuba (1959-62) become an international crisis?
This lesson is aimed at getting students confident in answering a 8 mark 'chronological narrative' question for the new AQA GCSE paper.
For this lesson it is assumed that students will have studied events in Cuba from 1958-1962.
The lesson starts with four maths problems - how long would different US cities have to react to a MRBM strike from Cuba (it gives them the speed of the missile - and they aren't too hard!)
Students remind themselves of the key events in the 'Cuba story' and attempt a timed 8 mark question titled: 'Write an account of how events in Cuba led to an international crisis'.
3 different model answers are provided (4, 6 and 8 out of 8) and as the teacher you can decide who gets which one. The students highlight information and key phrases they could have inclided but didn't and then use that to make a second attempt at answering the question,
A student friendly mark scheme is then included so students can self assess both of their answers and explain why the marks awarded to both were different. Hopefully the progress is very evident!
The lesson ends with a slide where students are encouraged to match their knowledge/learning to abstract images. As the teacher you can then question them to extend their thinking.

Republic and Empire: Breakdown of the Late Republic 88–31BC A Level Ancient History revision notes
This resource is a pretty comprehensive summary of all the knowledge required for OCR A Level Ancient History Republic and Empire: Breakdown of the Late Republic unit (H407/21):
The form of the Constitution
The challenges to the Constitution
The means by which politicians achieved success and their importance in the breakdown of the Republic
Social and Economic relationships and their importance in the breakdown of the Republic
The roles and importance of individuals in the breakdown of the Republic
At 20,000 words over 30 pages, this resource goes into detail about every topic on the specification, and explains how each topic is relevant and specific to the time period in question.
These were really useful for my students for a number of reasons. For my top students who were anxious that they had covered every corner of the course, these provided much needed reassurance. For my students whose attendance was a little sporadic, these notes allowed them to easily fill gaps in their knowledge. For the lessons close to exam time where students were keen to be ‘spoon fed’ the key knowledge, these notes came in incredibly handy.
They are detailed and can really be used as you see fit with your students according to their needs and your context. They also provide a pretty helpful teacher guide to refer to as you teach, as they helped me as I planned my lessons to make sure I was covering all the necessary key content as I progressed through the year.
Thanks for taking a look and hopefully these notes provide your students with the help they need and help you you save some much needed time and stress in the run up to exams, or over the course of the year :)

History GCSE: The Yalta Conference Feb 1945
This lesson was made for my GCSE History students studying the Cold War. It is made in a way that it will cover the content of the any GCSE History spec - it is a concise and clear account of the agreements at Yalta and foreshadows the disagreements that come later at Potsdam in it plenary. It is designed to last an hour - I made this because other resources on the Yalta conference out there seemed unwieldy and lacked focus. This is designed to be the opposite and will prove invaluable to students who sometimes aren’t so quick to embed learning when presented with new information.
For that reason, my students like these types of lessons because they are completely dual coded and easy to follow - they reduce cognitive load meaning that students can access the learning far more easily than through other resources which are ‘all singing, all dancing’ (!) or unnecessarily complex.
There is a worksheet included as a slide to be printed off A4 that students add their notes on to as the lesson progresses and there is a sound clip that students listen to as a starter and jot a few notes down, and a summary video clip is also included (hence the larger file size) which prompts a few lines of questioning that will prove useful when studying the Potsdam conference.
Thanks for taking a look :-)
