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.

Restoration England: What was the impact of the plague?

(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 a map of the spread of the plague (WikiCommons), students will need to explain its impact. Teachers are encouraged to supply students with further information on the various boroughs of London (e.g. the worst hit locations were also the locations where the lower classes lived, and vice versa). Students should be making the link between housing/wealth and infection. This would be a useful resource as part of a much wider topic on the plague, including its causes and treatment.

Restoration England: Mock Exams

(0)
This resource is intended for use with the new AQA GCSE unit: Restoration England, 1660-1685. Included are two sample mock exams that I have put together. I have not included questions on the Historical Site as this will change with each year; however, I have created two interpretation questions on the Fire and Plague that fit the model used by AQA. These mock exams can be used after one Half Term's worth of work. There is no coverage of Wars, Trade or Restoration Culture - these will need to be assessed towards the end of the course.

Thomas Becket's Murder - Source Assessment

Thomas Becket's Murder - Source Assessment

(1)
Source assessment on the murder of Thomas Becket. Quite challenging for Yr 7 pupils, so I would recommend going through one/two sources in class using the Analysis/Evaluation template. Included is the set of 4 sources, a template and a marking grid (that can be adapted to various other assessments). This can be easily differentiated by offering fewer sources or adding more descriptions to the sources.

This content is relevant for the new OCR unit on Popular Culture and the Witch Craze.

Students can then compare the two processes and suggest reasons why more people were accused/executed for witchcraft on the continent.
