Who are EC Resources?
EC Resources are a group of teachers who work together to create easy to use, high quality and editable lessons and units of work. We have created lessons for The Bank of England, The Children’s Commissioner, MACS Charity, The British Legion, Tes, LikeToBe Careers, the Criminal Cases Review Commission (UK Gov) and have also completed PSHE and Citizenship commissions for schools across the UK.

A fun way to revise at the end of year or end of topic.
The activity helps students to make judgements and compare monarchs on the following 5 attributes: Military Prowess, National Unity, Wealth, Improving the Nation, and Reputation.
Base card given - easily modified to use for any monarch or leader. In activity powerpoint William I/William the Conqueror, King John, and Henry VIII are included, as well as a completed example version.

Learning Intention and differentiated outcomes (SMSC).
Starter: Pupils' will discuss what qualities a good leader should hold before watching a short video clip inquiry into the leading figures of WWII:
Churchill
Stalin
Hitler
Roosevelt.
Pupils' will then circulate the room studying the individual leaders, their background and specifically their leadership qualities during WWII. In groups pupils then build a silent conversation to debate, discuss, compare and contrast the four leaders.
Pupil's then consolidate their views regarding the best leader answering a structured 8 mark exam style question. If time I then ask my pupils to peer assess with WW / EBI.
All videos links are provided along with instructions and advice in the description of the presentation.
Peep sheet and vocabulary builder have been included for differentiation.

This KS3 topic covers a single lesson and introduces the course on The Tudors by providing students with a complete overview of the monarchs. It’s simple but effective and I’ve had fantastic justified reasons from students when I’ve used it.
Aims and Objectives:
To know the Tudor family tree and the order in which they reigned.
To know a few basic facts about each of the Tudor monarchs.
To compare their reigns and make a judgement on who was the greatest Tudor monarch.
The starter focuses on the family tree and establishes the order and reasons for reigns. We then work through each of the monarchs, whilst students rank them on a continuum from worst to best. I’ve always made them note down two reasons for each but the information sheet could equally be adapted into cards for them to order. Students are then asked to make an independent judgement on which monarch was the greatest and we discuss the choices at the end.
Display including information about different Tudor Monarchs.
Includes separate posters for:
