Included are 3 checklists for students completing the CLAIT ICT assessments. These are for the 3 most common modules: Word, PowerPoint and Excel. This can be used just before the assessment to check that students are able to carry out the various tasks required. All of the skills on these sheets have been asked in previous CLAIT assessments. These checklists can also be used regardless of whether your pupils are studying for the CLAIT assessment. They are great feedback sheets for the end of topics, to assess how confident students are with each programme. I encourage students to use the 'Notes' section to write down how they complete each task.

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.

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.

Resources relating to the new GCSE specification. These resources relate to the Church's involvement in medicine. Students need to fill in the gaps (answer sheet provided) using the blue Hodder text book.

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.

A fun and engaging starter activity for pupils studying Norman England & the Harrying of the North. Please see instructions below: 1) Divide the room up into 4 regions using the region labels. Assign chairs to the regions and have the remaining chairs in a 'holding area' nearby (this will be for the Norman soldiers). There should be 60% of pupils in the holding area as Norman soldiers and 40% split across the three regions (excluding the SE). 2) Talk through the PowerPoint. You will need to change the number of lords/soldiers coming and going depending on your class size, as all pupils will be able to participate. Here is how the changes should go: > S.E. lords have died in battle (leave this region empty at the beginning). William replaces these with 100% of his own soldiers > Rebellion in the Midlands: William replaces 25% of the English lords with his own soldiers > Rebellion in the South West: William replaces 50% of the lords with his own soldiers > Rebellion in the North: William replaces 100% of the lords (the Englishmen are killed) I made mini landowner crowns for the landowners to wear (made out of corrugated display borders!) and these were transferred from Englishman to Norman after the rebellions. I also made the deposed Englishmen sit on the floor in front of their new barons to show they are beneath them! This lesson ties in really well with lessons on castles and the Feudal System.

Students are given a visual source (WikiCommons) and are tasked with analysing/evaluating the source for homework. This is a great worksheet to complete towards the end of the slavery topic, as the students will be able to appreciate the sentiments of the image. There are prompts underneath the image to encourage students to explain the source in more detail. This worksheet is intended for KS3.

A full week/two weeks of resources for teaching life in the trenches during the First World War to Year 9 (could also be adapted for a more-able Year 8 class, if pursuing a three-year GCSE course). The topic also covers Verdun and is intended to be used alongside an independent research project on the trenches. Included is a lesson packs covering this aspect of the First World War (other lesson packs available on my shop!) Each lesson pack includes a PowerPoint (with integrated videos, worksheet screenshots and activities), individual worksheets and contemporary sources (where required) These resources were originally designed for paperless teaching on OneNote; however, it will work perfectly for exercise book teaching (simply replace ‘on OneNote’ with ‘in your exercise books’ on the slides). No textbooks needed!
