This fun and original assembly is designed to teach children all about Black History Month, including: -What Black History Month is; -Why we have Black History Month; -What life has been like for Black British people in the past and what it is like today; -Providing examples of influential Black British people and what they have achieved; -How Black History Month is celebrated. The slides are visually-engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people. It includes links to well-chosen videos to emphasise/ reinforce key points, in addition to song suggestions. There is enough here for a 30-35 minute assembly (it is 21 slides long), but of course you can cut bits out/ tailor to your own individual needs. No further resources are required, everything that you need to present the assembly is included. I would say that the assembly is ideally pitched at KS2, but both KS3 and KS1 would be able to access it with only minor vocabulary/ language adaptations. The slides are fairly self-explanatory, but I’ve included guidance notes to assist the speaker. Hope that you find this useful!

Overview: This open educational resource for the Second and Third Curriculum Level was developed as part of the University of Edinburgh’s collaboration with Their Finest Hour project, run by University of Oxford. Their Finest Hour aimed to empower local communities to digitally preserve their stories and objects related to the Second World War through a series of nationwide Digital Collection Days. Through stories and objects collected at a Digital Collection Day in Edinburgh, this resource introduces students to alternative perspectives of WWII history, distinct from the views of political and military decision makers. There is considerable historical value in viewing war and other historical events from a wide range of alternative perspectives. Looking at everyday objects and collecting testimonies from many diverse voices can enable an understanding of how war and significant events affected the whole nation. This lesson includes an oral history exercise for students. Oral history interviews provide varied perspectives on historical events by privileging voices that are not typically part of the historical record. By interviewing a relative or member of their community, students gain an understanding that history is all around them, rather than something that happened far away, a long time ago, to distant people. In connecting public and private history, students are able to reflect on their family and community’s place in history, and the meaning of history more generally – who makes it, how and why. The lesson pack includes powerpoint slides, teacher’s notes, a student worksheet, and links to Their Finest Hour Archive. Learning Outcomes: Develop important social communication skills: active listening /effective listening Develop analysis skills Develop a better understanding of the definition of history Develop an understanding of the history, heritage and culture of Scotland, and an appreciation of their local and national heritage within the world Learn how to locate, explore and link periods, people and events in time and place Learn how to locate, explore and link features and places locally and further afield Explore and evaluate different types of sources and evidence Develop communication skills: conveying information, describing events, explaining processes or combining ideas in different ways. Experiences and Outcomes: LIT 2-02a, LIT 3-02a, LIT 2-05a, LIT 3-05a, LIT 2-06a, LIT 3-06a, LIT 2-09a, LIT 3-09a, LIT 2-10a, LIT 3-10a, LIT 2-28a, SOC 2-01a, SOC 3-01a, SOC 2-02a, SOC 3-02a, SOC 2-03a, SOC 3-03a ‘Recording Everyday Social History’ was created by Eden Swimer.

Pack containing revision notes for the OCR A Level History Paper ‘Civil Rights in the USA 1865-1992’ (Y319). Resources included: Comprehensive notes on factors (such as the executive branch, SCOTUS, and key individuals), and their impact on the advancement of African-American, Native American, and Women’s civil rights. They are colour-coordinated, with green representing positive progression, amber representing a mix or conflict, and red representing regression. These notes are particularly helpful for the 25 mark Section B questions, where the ability to synthesise knowledge and ideas from across the period is of paramount importance. My suggestions for potential ‘turning point’ essays, for African American, Native American, and Women’s Rights. This style of question frequently appears in Section B, and these notes are to help in preparation. Spotlight notes for Native American rights and worker’s rights in the Gilded Age. These notes are helpful across the paper, but can be especially useful for the Section A interpretations question. All notes included were created by me in the run up to my A Level History examinations, in which I achieved an A* grade. I am currently studying History at the University of Cambridge.

This magnificent display showcases all of the amazing things history has to over around the world! To make this display I used a world map (purchased off Amazon) and then, using the cards provided for you here, attached string to show where these amazing events took place to create this impressive display. Each fact cards includes; Image Beautiful font for each place name A short paragraph (no more than a few sentences) summarises that event or history of the country This has been tailored to my school curriculum, but this would look incredible regardless if you do these topics. Examples include; China (Song dynasty) Baghdad (Islamic World) Afghanistan (Soviet invasion) Japan (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) France (WW1, French Revolution) Germany (WW1, Weimar and Nazi Germany GCSE) Many places in America! (American West GCSE) - such as the Great Plains, Salt Lake City and more. Cuba (Cuban Missile Crisis) Titanic Egypt (Battle of El Alamein) Ireland (The Troubles) This display looks extremely impressive and I have had so many compliments on this, as well as causing a stir on social media with people who found it so impressive! To recreate the display as in my photos you will need to purchase a world map and string, however you could also place the fact cards on a display board or wall without a map and it would still look incredible! Please review if you purchase.
