Enclosed in this resource pack are 5 ‘Historical Emoji’ display sheets and 5 corresponding descriptions. Every fortnight (or monthly), simply put up a new ‘Historical Emoji’ on a display board and have your students try to guess the event using the guess sheets. I staple a plastic wallet with the blank guess sheets and an envelope (or similar) to the display board for the completed forms. After the deadline (usually a week), simply put up the corresponding description sheet to reveal the answer. I also put up a note identifying the winners, who each receive a merit. This then stays up for a week before I move on to the next ‘Historical Emoji’. It’s a great way to engage the pupils in some of the key events in history and if the task is a little easy, I award the merits to the pupils who offer the most detail, e.g. dates, names, countries etc. The obvious issue with this display is the fact that it needs to be updated; however, you could change this to a monthly rotation if that is easier. I find that if all the sheets are printed off beforehand, it actually only takes 5-10minutes to switch the display around. By changing it so frequently the board certainly becomes a destination in the school and I often have pupils asking me about the display. N.B. Some of the emojis are a little tongue-in-cheek and I do not mean to be insensitive to past tragedies. These are used purely as historical events. All images can be found on WikiCommons. *** TAKE A LOOK AT PACKS 1 & 2 FOR MORE EMOJI FUN! - BUY THE WHOLE SET FOR JUST £10!***

This is a simple worksheet for use within KS3 topics covering science, medicine or the Age of Enlightenment. Students are given a list of 18th Century scientific/medical discoveries and must answer 4 questions based on the information that they are given. This would be useful as a starter activity for the topic or as a piece of homework; an extension task could be to have students research a particular discovery or find other 18th Century discoveries.

A simple gap fill exercise that explores Stalin's rise to power in the 1920s. I have included answers on the second page. This was intended to be used with the legacy AQA GCSE unit: Stalin's Russia, 1924-1941; however, it can easily be adapted to any exam board and the current Modern World AQA unit.

A display intended for a History Department (but could be adapted for English!) on the theory of 'Herstory', putting women back into history and focusing on female achievement. Included are several examples of influential women in History (all images from wiki-commons). By printing the descriptions as A5 and folding over, you can create a 'lift up' display. Students will only see the image and the description of the female figure; however, they will have to lift up to see their name (a great activity to see if anybody knows these women straight away!). Just put a comment below if you need further assistance on how to put the display together!

Three resources that can be used to help explain how/why the Suffragettes became more violent after 1909. Students can read the brief handout that explains the change and then study the poster on force-feeding (comparing it to a written source and answering questions). Once the students have been introduced to the story of Emily Davison (there is a wealth of material on this elsewhere) they can complete the newspaper homework task, which is great for displays! These resources are intended for KS3 and are designed to be used alongside existing resources on the Suffragettes.

A card sort activity showing the decline of relations between Charles II and Parliament during his reign. Each card gives an example of something that caused tension between the two sides. Students can sort the cards using the instructions on page 2 of the resource. They can then use the cards to answer an exam style question. This is designed for the new AQA GCSE topic: Restoration England, 1660-1685; however, it could be adapted for any KS4/KS5 topic on Charles II.

This is a gap fill and wordsearch for pupils studying the Industrial Revolution. This is a great homework or extension activity, or just for a bit of fun! Students will need to work out what the missing words are in the paragraph and then find these in the grid - can they spot which word is missing from the word search? (**ANSWER: Water Supply***) I have included answers on a separate sheet.

This is an excellent revision task or class task for anybody studying the AQA GCSE topic: Restoration England, 1660-1685. Students need to first of all use the text books to record any key dates. They can then cut and stick the appropriate information from the sheet (I blew this up to A3 and it worked out great!) on to the appropriate pages in their exercise books, before answering the relevant question. What they should end up with are 4 pages, each summarising the 4 'snapshots' of Restoration Culture that are specified in the Scheme of Work. Answers have been provided.

Various resources to aid A Level (or GCSE) teaching of the East Anglian Witchcraze. This was designed for the OCR Unit 3 topic: Popular Culture and the Witchcraze of the 16th and 17th Centuries. Students may need to use either the Hodder or Pearson text books to complete one of the worksheets on the causes of the hunts; however, everything else can be used independently. Included are: information sheets on the hunts a sorting activity focusing on the causes of the hunts revision sheets extracts from Hopkins' book where he responds to John Gaule's criticisms a biography worksheet for students to complete using their own research

Based around two units from a Year 9 SOW focusing on the 17th and 18th centuries (this can be found in my shop). Students are given a range of 1 mark knowledge questions on dates/names/events/definitions associated with The Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. This form of assessment would be in addition to knowledge and source essays to practise the skills required for GCSE. Also included is a sheet with answers to all of the questions. The test is 35 questions long (35 marks).

Two worksheets as part of a lesson on Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Sophia Jex Blake. This forms the part of the 'Revolution in Medicine' section of the AQA Health and the People unit of work. Students need to use the Hodder Textbook (pages indicated on the worksheets) to match the dates with the events; they then need to find similarities/differences between the stories of both women.

Two tasks focusing on Enlightenment medicine; this task is intended to complement the unit on Pasteur, Koch, Ehrlich and other Enlightenment thinkers. Students have to match up the information to the correct individual (using the blue Hodder text book) and then complete a gap fill on the Scientific Revolution using the pages stated.

Handouts and a PowerPoint created in support of the Edexcel AS Level unit: The Unification of Italy, 1830-1870. Included are two blank revision diagrams to allow students to write notes in an ordered way on the 1848 revolutions and why they failed. Ideally this would be blown up to A3 and a map of Italy has been included for reference. Also included is a detailed, completed copy of the 'events' handout using a number of text books. Lower ability students could be given this to support note taking or this could be shown on a projector and talked through in class. I have also included a PowerPoint presentation that can be used as a walkthrough during a lesson on this topic. Please note that as this is an independent learning lesson, the PowerPoint presentation is used for guidance, it does not include all of the answers!

An activity created in support of the Edexcel AS Level unit: The Unification of Italy, 1830-1870. This activity includes 3 sets of 8 cards, each in relation to one of the 8 stages of Italy's transformation into a unified state (between 1792 and 1870). Each page contains either: 8 maps, 8 events or 8 dates. Students are required to match up the dates, events and maps before putting the matched-up sets in chronological order. This would be a useful started during a revision lesson towards the end of the course, or the maps/dates cards could be used at the very beginning of the course to get students speculating what may happen.

A handout and PowerPoint presentation created in support of the Edexcel AS Level unit: The Unification of Italy, 1830-1870. Included is a blank copy of a revision diagram to allow students to write notes in an ordered way on the 1830 revolutions. Ideally this would be blown up to A3 and a map of Italy has been included for reference. Also included is a detailed, completed copy of the handout using a number of text books. Lower ability students could be given this to support note taking or this could be shown on a projector and talked through in class. To accompany these materials, I have put together a detailed PowerPoint presentation to introduce the content. It provides an introduction to the subject as well as a summary of the 1830 Revolutions.

This is a revision pack full of exam questions taken from text books, specimen papers and my own initiative. This is an essential resource for any student studying the new AQA GCSE History topic 'Britain: Health and the People'. The questions are divided up based on the 4 chronological sections of the course; there are questions of all types, including thematic questions. (***THESE SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS DEFINITE EXAMPLES OF EXAM QUESTIONS***)

An introductory presentation and some accompanying images/maps to be used as part of a lesson on the Cuban Missile Crisis. These worksheets/presentations can be adapted to suit a much broader lesson on the Cold War, or can be used as a stand-alone lesson. There is a useful BBC documentary that can be found on YouTube that works well once students have been introduced to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Included is a PowerPoint presentation that talks through the story, along with a map of Cuba and the areas of tension.

A number of worksheets focusing on the war in the air and the Battle of Britain. The PowerPoint can be used as a starter activity: students are given a poster showing British and German planes (in pairs); they must hold up coloured pages (from planners) to decide whether the plane on the board is British or German. There are then a number of questions based on the Battle of Britain map that has been included, along with a source analysis of the War in the Air.

These resources relate to the AQA GCSE History unit, Britain: Health and the People. Most tasks require the blue textbook from Hodder. Included is a gap fill worksheet on antiseptics and aseptics, a card sort activity on opposition to carbolic acid, and a utility question (question 1) on carbolic acid. These resources are intended to be used as part of a much broader lesson on antiseptics and aseptics. Also included are some class notes on anaesthetics that may be useful.

These resources relate to the AQA GCSE History unit, Britain: Health and the People. Many of the tasks require the blue textbook from Hodder that accompanies the course. Included is a gap fill task on modern medical developments along with a summary of some of the key improvements that took place during this time. These resources are intended to be used as part of a wider collection of activities/tasks on modern medicine, as they are not comprehensive of this chapter in the text book. Nevertheless, they provide excellent additions to class work or homework.
