I am a history teacher currently teaching in an International School. I have taught for 9 years in London and now abroad and have been developing my lessons and SOW. I am focused on providing teachers (and students) with revision PPs that provide both an in-depth overview of topics (with specific focus on GCSE/iGCSE and A-Level/IAL) and content combined with discussion/essay questions students can engage with. I hope these resources help you!

Who was Edith Cavell and can we call her a heroine?

(0)
A standalone lesson that investigates Edith Cavell and her impact on World War One. The lesson is well planned and allows for students to brainstorm their understanding of what a hero is. It then allows for the class to come up with a set of criteria from which they will be able to judge whether Edith Cavell is a hero. Students will be asked to fill in a fact-file on Cavell’s life and follow this up with completing a ‘Qualities of a Hero’ worksheet which they will need to provide real life examples of the qualities chosen by the class which Cavell exhibited. Students are then asked to discuss as a class to what extent they believe Cavell was a heroine using both their qualities of a hero sheet and their completed fact-file. The final activity is a creative task in which they need to write a speech honouring Cavell’s contribution to World War One. Students are provided with specific prompts and questions to address in the speech. If time permits- students can read out their speech to the class. The aim of the lesson is to introduce students to a wonderul and heroic woman who as time moves on might get overlooked! This lesson is aimed at Year 6,7,8.
