I have a wealth of resources that are aimed primarily at KS4 and KS5; however, there are some useful KS3 tasks that have been uploaded this year. Topics at KS5 include: Russia and its Rulers, 1855-1941; Later Tudors, 1547-1603; Popular Culture and the Witchcraze of the 16th and 17th Centuries; Italian Unification, 1830-1870; and Germany, 1890-1990. As well as History, I also have a few resources relating to Geography and ICT that some users may find helpful.

Popular Culture and the Witchcraze of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

16 Resources
Several resources relevant to the OCR A Level unit, Popular Culture and the Witchcraze. Included are revision diagrams, worksheets, maps, tables and graphs that cover both popular culture and the witch-hunts. These resources will supplement work from the Access to History textbook, which is needed to complete some of the note-taking activities. These resources are primarily for use as revision aids and possible homework/class activities. As this is a new specification there are no stand-alone units of work out there; however, I hope these resources help!

Unification of Italy, 1830-1870: Stages of Unification Revision Sheet

(0)
A handout created in support of the Edexcel AS Level unit: The Unification of Italy, 1830-1870. Included is a revision diagram showing the 8 stages of Italian unification, from 1792 to 1870. Students can use their class notes or a text book to complete a summary of each event that led to a 'changing Italy'. This resource can be used alongside the card sort activity that is included in my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/unification-of-italy-1830-1870-a-changing-italy-card-sort-11681764

PaulMidPaulMid

Germany, 1871-1990: Birth of Democratic Germany

(0)
A set of resources relating to the A-Level unit: Germany, 1871-1990 from Edexcel; however, the material could be adapted to suit most exam boards. Included is a set of detailed PowerPoint presentations relating to the 'Birth of Democratic Germany' depth topic; specifically these materials relate to the period up until 1914-19 (later periods will be covered in future resources, so please keep an eye on my shop!) Also included are a couple of blank revision diagrams that students can use during the teaching process. These resources would be invaluable for any teacher teaching this Edexcel unit. They provide an excellent supplement to existing materials on this topic.

Tsarist Russia, 1855-1894

3 Resources
Various resources covering the period of reform and repression under Alexander II and III. Included are worksheets, revision aids and diagrams that explain emancipation, further reforms, industrialisation and the growth of opposition groups. These resources would be invaluable for anyone studying Tsarist Russia before 1894 and would also serve as a good introduction to the Russian Revolution.
Restoration England: Court Fashions
PaulMidPaulMid

Restoration England: Court Fashions

(0)
This resource is relevant to the new AQA GCSE specification on Restoration England, 1660-1685; however, it could be adapted for KS3 or A Level. A label exercise with questions on the changing court fashions during Charles II's reign. Students are presented with two images (taken from WikiCommons, open access) and have to label the images using the correct terminology. Students will then need to explain the transition of court fashions across Charles' reign and identify the reasons for this change.
Restoration England: Land & Trade
PaulMidPaulMid

Restoration England: Land & Trade

(0)
This resource is relevant to the new AQA GCSE specification on Restoration England, 1660-1685; however, it could be adapted for KS3 or A Level. A clear and simple labeled map of the key overseas locations featured in the new AQA specifications. Students will need to use their prior knowledge (or complete alongside the text book) to label each location and summarise its significance within the course. Each location was a key centre for trade or land; all locations have been explained in depth in the Hodder text book. This would be a great note taking exercise as the book tends to waffle slightly.
Restoration England: Glossary Quizzes
PaulMidPaulMid

Restoration England: Glossary Quizzes

(0)
This resource is relevant to the new AQA GCSE specification on Restoration England, 1660-1685; however, it could be adapted for KS3 or A Level. Using the glossary from the text book (and wider understanding) students will need to identify the definitions of 10 key words at a time. These quizzes would be great as a lesson started every 3-4 weeks as new terms are introduced. A larger test could then be put together towards the end of the unit to ensure that students are familiar. I would encourage students to go away and find the definitions for themselves using the text book/internet, as this would make a great homework activity.
Restoration England: Parliamentary Relations
PaulMidPaulMid

Restoration England: Parliamentary Relations

(0)
A graph plotting activity based on the '7 steps' of parliamentary relations during the reign of Charles II. Students need to read the Hodder text book and assess each phase; they then need to plot on the graph whether they think the relationship between Charles and Parliament was positive or negative. This resource is relevant to the new AQA GCSE specification on Restoration England, 1660-1685. It is intended to be purchased as part of a wider bundle.
Elizabethan Foreign Policy: The Netherlands
PaulMidPaulMid

Elizabethan Foreign Policy: The Netherlands

(0)
Detailed handout on Elizabeth's relationship with Scotland during her reign. Also included is a map of Europe that highlights the religious state of Europe at this time. This is a concise handout that will be useful for all students studying the Later Tudor period and Elizabeth I. It is perfect as an alternative to the text book, particularly for revision. Please rate and comment, as all feedback is appreciated. Please also see my other resources of Elizabethan foreign policy and her reign as a whole.
Restoration England: Timeline Revision Dominoes
PaulMidPaulMid

Restoration England: Timeline Revision Dominoes

(0)
A set of 22 revision dominoes for the new AQA GCSE unit: Restoration England, 1660-1685. This is really useful as a starter activity as students move closer to the exam (or at the end of the unit) - hand one domino to each pupil and have them read out the date, the pupil with the corresponding event reads this out and then reads out their date. This should start a chain reaction around the room. My class always want to beat their time! There are perhaps more events and dates that can be added; however, this is a useful starting point.
Restoration England: The Second Dutch War & Medway Raid
PaulMidPaulMid

Restoration England: The Second Dutch War & Medway Raid

(0)
Two resources for teaching the Second Dutch War as part of the new AQA GCSE topic, Restoration England: 1660-1685. Included is a summary diagram of the Second Dutch War to get pupils understanding the major battles and why both sides were victorious/defeated at each stage. Also included is an in-depth look at the Medway disaster. The handout covers the causes, events and results of the raid; a clear map has also been included to aid students (source: WikiCommons). This resource is intended for revision (it is much simpler to follow than the text book); however, it could also form the basis of a lesson activity. Students could answer questions on the content and stick the sheet into their books.

History Display: Historical Emojis (Complete Set)

3 Resources

Restoration England: The Third Dutch War

(0)
Summary handout detailing the causes, events and results of the Third Dutch War. This is one of the tricky topics within the new AQA GCSE unit, Restoration England: 1660-1685. This one-sided handout will benefit those students who find the text book difficult to understand and it would be a great resource to have handy for revision.
Suffragettes Visual Sources Activity/Worksheet
PaulMidPaulMid

Suffragettes Visual Sources Activity/Worksheet

(0)
Two worksheets for KS3/KS4 to encourage students to analyse/evaluate visual sources. The content relates to the Suffragettes and the sources show the Women's Suffrage movement in a positive and negative light. Students are tasked with describing the sources, picking out key symbols and inferences. The grid would be a useful group activity where students can analyse the pictures in groups and rotate these every few minutes; the postcard task can then be set for homework.
