Included here are three resources relevant to the changing scope of the European witch craze, geographically and chronologically. I have included the original data for the graph that shows the number of executions, which is taken from the Access to History text book. The blank axis can be used to get students to plot the changing severity of the witch craze in England, Germany and America (the case studies for the OCR unit). The Access to History text book is necessary to complete these worksheets. These resources will need to be used alongside other worksheets and activities. This resource is intended to be used as part of a much larger bundle for this unit. See my shop for more details.

Two resources to be used alongside other worksheets on the causes of the witchcraze. The first is a list of several causes that have been put forward for the witch hunts. Students will each take one and try to explain it on paper, the cards will then rotate around. Students can rank the causes by how convincing they find the explanations. Secondly is a summary table of the causes for witch hunting. Using the activity above, students can fill in their tables. This content is relevant for the new OCR unit on Popular Culture and the Witch Craze. This resource is intended to be used as part of a much larger bundle for this unit. See my shop for more details.

A challenging worksheet focusing on 'Earth's Story' and what order things first appeared on Earth. This was used as an introductory lesson in Year 7 Geography; however, it could certainly be incorporated into Science SOW on Evolution, or as an introductory History lesson on chronology! The first half of the worksheet is relatively straightforward; however, some students may need supporting with the final question (Earth's story as a 24hr clock) as it is a tricky concept for some to get their heads around.

Two worksheets on the formation of glaciers and the difference between erosion, transportation and deposition. These resources are to be used in conjunction with the Geog.1 unit on Glaciers for Year 7 pupils (however, it can certainly be adapted for other age groups). Also included is a revision song on glaciers to the tune of 'Merry Christmas, Everyone!' (It's a Glacier, Everyone! - It helped that it was Christmas time...) This is such a tricky topic to teach, so any opportunity to get pupils using the key terms is useful.

Resources to be used as part of a Year 7 Geography lesson on flooding/flood defences. Small groups of students are each given a card with a reason for flooding; they must explain in their groups why that factor may increase/decrease the risk of flooding (then rotate the cards and feedback as a class). I have included an information sheet to be given out alongside this (can easily be turned into a gap fill!) Also included is a PowerPoint presentation with the different types of flood defences. Students can complete a comparison table of each defence based on its cost, lifespan, appearance etc. and rank the defences.

Resources relating to a Year 7 Geography lesson on sketch maps. Included alongside the lesson plan is a PowerPoint presentation. Students have to review the features of a map using the coloured pages in their books and sketch maps are then introduced. As an activity/homework, students create their own sketch maps of a theme park, adding in various symbols and making it visually appealing/informative. I printed off a couple of maps of Alton Towers/Thorpe Park to pass around the class (as shown on the PowerPoint), so students could see the level of detail (or lack of it) they needed.

This resource is intended to be used as part of a much larger bundle for this unit. See my shop for more details. This worksheet is intended for use with the OCR unit: Popular Culture and the Witchcraze; however, it could be adapted to suit any A Level exam board. This resource gives an overview of the trend in witchcraft persecution across the 16th century in England. All content is derived from the Access to History textbook and from wider research. Individual cases are cited as well as key dates.

This worksheet is intended for use with the OCR unit: Popular Culture and the Witchcraze; however, it could be adapted to suit any A Level exam board. This resource gives an overview of the trend in witchcraft persecution across the 17th century in England (Matthew Hopkins, 1645-7, is detailed on another resource. See my shop for more details).

This resource is intended to be used as part of a much larger bundle for this unit. See my shop for more details. A source-based worksheet for students studying the OCR unit: Popular Culture and the Witchcraze. Students are given extracts from the three Witchcraft Acts of the period (the 1736 Act is not included) and they have to answer questions based on the content. I have not changed the language or spelling contained in the sources as I feel this is an effective way of familiarising students with the study of History through sources. The answers to the questions are relatively straightforward and are contained in the text book.

This resource is intended to be used as part of a much larger bundle for this unit. See my shop for more details. A collection of 3 revision sheets on the differences in popular culture. The three topics are: geographical differences, class differences and gender differences. Students will discover how 'popular culture' was not necessarily one distinct phenomenon and that it was experienced in different ways by different people.

This content is relevant for the new OCR unit on Popular Culture and the Witch Craze. Using the Access to History text book (or their notes, if being used as a revision exercise) students make notes on the legal process surrounding witchcraft accusations. The first sheet relates to the process in Continental Europe, with the second worksheet being relevant to England. Students can then compare the two processes and suggest reasons why more people were accused/executed for witchcraft on the continent.

Each is defined and then, at the bottom of the handout, is a breakdown of the debate as to whether these celebrations offered a safety valve for society.

This resource relates to one of the investigation topics, the witch-hunts of Germany. A map is provided with the key locations that are cited in the text book. A detailed handout is also included, with key questions throughout the handout.

A flowchart detailing the causes of the French Revolution. Students are tasked with completing the gapfill and creating a doodle to represent each stage; this is particularly useful for visual learners. I have also included answers, marked in red.

Students will examine a timeline of Stalin's rise to power and must answer relevant questions. This was intended for the AQA GCSE History B Topic: Stalin's Russia, 1924-1941; however, it can easily be adapted for any GCSE or A Level topic on Stalin's rise to power.

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.

This is a worksheet intended for use with the legacy AQA GCSE; however, it is also suitable for the new GCSE specification. Students should be introduced to Stalin's rise to power and his methods of consolidating his leadership, they can then complete this simple Gap Fill using their text books or class notes. Answers are provided. Please also see the second gap fill on Stalin's rise to power and the early purges from my shop.
