In this resource there are 15 lessons that cover: When and what was the Black Death? What was the actual cause of the disease? How was it able to spread so easily and quickly? What did medieval people think caused the illness? What were the Four Humours? How were people treated whose Humours were believed to be out of balance? How did medieval people try and treat / cure the Black Death? Why were certain treatments used? How did people try and prevent themselves from catching the disease? How did the Black Death impact England? Why did the Peasants Revolt? What happened during the Peasants’ Revolt? Did the Peasants’ Revolt change anything? What have we learnt this half term? (Recap and recall lesson) The lessons are specifically designed to be taught as ‘live lessons’ via Microsoft Teams and have a mix of teacher led content delivery and student consolidation. They are taking me approxiamately 40-45 minutes to complete. Each lesson begins with a ‘Start Now’ task wherein students revisit prior learning so as to recap knowledge gained in previous lessons and topics (prior to lockdown). Each lesson ends with a ‘Check point’ so as to embed knowledge gained during the lesson. The tasks are suitably chunked and feedback can easily be taken from students throughout each lesson by using the chat feature of live meetings on Teams so as to gage student understanding and address any misconceptions. I have editted these lessons from my previously uploaded SoW on The Black Death and Peasants Revolt based on the new Pearson ‘Exploring History: Monarchs, Monks and Migrants’ textbook.

This lesson is aimed at Year 7 History students who are studying the Normans. It is designed to be a follow on lesson wherein students already have a basic knowledge of the events of 1066 and the Battle of Hastings. There are opportunities to recap prior knowledge and an embedded video. I have included the lesson Power Point, the carousel activity resources (at the end of the lesson PP), and a worksheet. This lesson uses Blooms Taxonomy and enables students to identify, explain and evaluate 6 different methods William used in order to keep control of his newly conquered England. There is a focus on literacy and numeracy is included in the starter. The worksheet is set up to follow the Power Point, but tasks are easily adaptable and you could incite a debate wherein students argue as to which method of control was most effective and why. The carousel activity information is easily adaptable as well and you can chop and change it to suit student ability. It’s all very straightforward and self-explanatory. I created everything for an interview (and I got the job!) Please leave some comments if you decide to buy and try this lesson :)

Key Stage 3 History Currently I am using this at the start of Year 8, but it would make a great project-based Scheme of Work for Year 7 as it would be a good transitional Unit into KS3. I have created every lesson so it is easily accessible and adaptable, and so that both specialist and non-specialist teachers of History can simply just pick it up and go. There is a full and detailed written Unit of Work to go along with the 10 lessons, as well a ‘Recall and Revise’ sheet that enables students to recall the previous lesson and to discuss the homework they have undertaken as a group as well. This document runs alongside the Unit, in the hope that it will help students when they get to the assessment. Overall Question for the Scheme of Work is: “What Makes Someone Inspirational?” and in order to answer the question at the end of the Unit, students follow a set of 10 chronological lessons. They learn in class and at home about 10 inspirational people: Boudicca, William Wilberforce, Florence Nightingale, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, Helen Keller, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Malala Yousafzai. By the end of the Unit, students will have created a timeline that spans from Boudicca through to Malala Yousafzai and will have learnt about the incredible, inspirational lives of all 10 people, as well as the historical context in which these individuals lived and the circumstances that lead to them becoming inspirational. Activities in lesson include: Round the Room fact hunt, video clips with accompanying questions, source analysis, group research, find someone who knows, empathy tasks, discussion work, as well as individual and group work. The Learning Objectives for every lesson are based on Blooms Taxonomy and are tied into the new GCSE 9-1 grading system (as best I could!). They are also repeated throughout so that students and teachers know exactly what is expected every single lesson, and so that proving progress is straightforward and clear.

Four complete Knowledge Organisers to cover all key knowledge needed for the GCSE topic Health and the People / Medicine Through Time. Includes key definitions, key dates, key people and events, and key changes/continuities over time. All exported as PDF documents for ease of uploading onto Teams/homework platforms. Time periods covered: The Middle Ages (1000-1500) Renaissance Britain (1500-1800) The Nineteenth Century (1800-1900) The Twentieth Century to Present (1900-Present)

Using the new Pearson ‘Exploring History: Monarchs, Monks and Migrants’ textbook, I have created 16 lessons on The Black Death and the Peasants Revolt suitable for KS3 History students. Lessons include: Was 1348 the end of the world? What were the causes, symptoms and responses to The Black Death? How terrible was The Black Death? What have we learnt so far? (Recap and extended writing lesson) What were the effects of the Black Death? How and why did the peasants revolt? What were the consequences of the peasants revolt? What have we learnt so far? (Recap and extended writing lesson) I have designed them so they stretch over 2 lessons and each one begins with an opportunity for recap and recall questions (making the learning stick!) There are also 2 opportunities for students to engage and undertake extended writing throughout the SoW. **All sources, resources, tasks, titles, learning objectives etc taken from Pearson ‘Exploring History: Monarchs, Monks and Migrants’ ED.
