Flash Cards: Introduction to History Key Words

(0)
Dingbats are a great starter, mini plenary or plenary that can add a bit of fun to any lesson, whilst helping students learn important key words for the lesson. This great resource is designed to help students understand and learn about the different types of evidence that historians use as well introduce them to some of the key words that we use like biased and reliable. The resource has been provided them in Microsoft Word so you can easily adapt them for your own classes. There are three main ways that you can use them. Game 1 involves getting students to read out the key words until the other guesses the topic correctly. Game 2 involves additional challenge and stretch by getting students to describe the topic without using any of the key words on the card. The third game, which adds an additional layer of fun or challenge involves playing a round of Pictionary or Charades. I normally give my students 3 minutes of each round to help activate the learning and warm up the class. You could also have a freestyle round where students decide which game they want to play linked to their learning style. If you are trying to engage some under achieving boys, add some competition and get them to keep score in the back of their books. I would recommend printing them off on card and getting your students to cut them out. Then put the cards into an envelope for class use. If you are a student then keep them in your pocket and use them as a flash card to help you learn the key facts, If there is a term that you do not understand then as your teacher or do some extra research. From a revision perspective, you can print off the cards and get your students to learn the key words for a test or for their exams. These are a win, win resource. The kids will love them and they will help to improve your results. If you like this free resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop.

This great resource is designed to be used a stand alone lesson or to be printed off in colour, laminated and displayed in your classroom. It contains a number of colour slides which explain to students how to analyse a historical source successful by looking at their origin, nature, purpose, access to information etc… Underpinning this is the use of the acronyms PEEL and CCCJ as potential scaffolds or writing frames to help students structure their answers: P = Point E = Example E = Explain L = Link C = Comment C = Content C= Context (Source & Knowledge) J = Judgement In most of the sliders are examples of sentence starters to help your students get started. This is a must have resource for any history teacher wanting to make sure that they are equipped with a range of specialists tools for helping their students sharpen up their analysis.

Analyzing Historical Interpretations using a Graphic Organiser

Analyzing Historical Interpretations using a Graphic Organiser

(0)
This great resource is designed to help students analyze historical interpretations. I have successfully used this type of resource for many years with my students. When it is successfully completed it provides them with an excellent writing frame or scaffold for writing a high quality answer.. Used overtime, this type of resource will help to embed good practice and help students develop the important thinking and analysis skills they will need to tackle interpretation questions. As you can see in the preview, this is a single sheet resource with several squares. It is an evolution of the thinking skills reliability squares organiser that some of you may have come across before. The first square gets students to comment on the message of the source. The second square gets them to back this up with quotes, evidence and examples from the source. The third box gets students to analyse / explain the interpretation using outside knowledge, which would move them up to the next level, whilst the forth square gets them to analyse / explain the reliability of the interpretation with reference to the origin, nature, purpose, audience, access to information and its intended impact, which would take them up to the higher levels. Finally, the last box is designed to get them to link their analysis and come to a judgement to any other source being studied at the same time to help secure that A*. Underpinning the graphic organiser is the use of both PEEL and CCCJ as potential scaffold: P = Point E = Example E = Explain L = Link C = Comment C = Content C= Context (Source & Knowledge) J = Judgement Back in the days when examiners could provide training and feedback, these acronyms underpinned many of the level descriptors. If you would like a great resource which for further explaining these to your students then check out my PP on 'How to use a source successfully at GCSE.' This can also be printed off and laminated to make some great eye catching wall displays.

Card Sort / Continuum: How successful was the Weimar Republic 1923 - 1929?

(0)
This great little resource is designed to help students assess how successful were the polices of the Weimar Republic from 1923 - 1929. The resource includes two tasks. The first task is a simple card sort where students have to sort 16 cards under two headings, success and failure. The second task, then gets the students to decide how far each factor or card was a success or failure by placing them onto a living graph or continuum. The first task is designed for lower and middle ability students, whilst the second is designed to provide stretch and challenge for middle to upper ability students. I would recommend printing the living graph / continuum on page 2 onto an A3 sheet, but you could get your students to draw one across two pages in their exercise books, The resource is provided in word so it can be easily adapted for your students. The aims and objectives are: Theme: Weimar Republic 1919 - 1932 Know: What steps did the Weimar Republic take to solve Germany's problems 1923 - 1929? Understand: How successful were each of these policies at helping Germany to recover? Evaluate: How far did Germany recover as a result of these policies from 1923 - 1929? WILF - What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe: What action the Weimar Republic took to solve Germany's problems? Explain: How successful some of these policies were? Analyse: Come to an overall judgement on 'how far' these policies helped Germany to recover? Anyway, have fun with these resources , I look forward to your feedback. For the price of a good cup of coffee, this resource represents value for money and a real time saver. It can be used with nearly any textbook on this topic. If you like this resource check out the others that I have uploaded to my TES Shop - The History Academy. I also have a Facebook and Twitter page with the same title if you wish to follow and stay up to date with my latest updates or of you simply wish to chap about these resources. Kind Regards Roy

It can be used alongside any of the main stream text books on the American West or even my PowerPoint on this topic which can be downloaded via The History Academy TES shop. This type of activity is ideal for lower and middle ability students, but I have also included some stretch and challenge in the second task. The card sort includes two heading cards labelled negative and positive consequences as well as 16 cards that can sorted underneath them. This sort of task should take a middle ability group 10 to 15 minutes and a lower ability group 20 minutes. The card sort is designed to be independent of any textbook or resource, but it would be an ideal resource to use alongside the SHP textbook The American West 1840 - 1895 or my PowerPoint on the mountain men. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: The American West Know: Who were the mountain men? Understand: What negative / positive role did they play in the settlement of the American West? Evaluate: How significant was their impact on the settlement of the West? WILF - What Am I Looking For? Identify and describe: The impact of the mountain men on the American West? Explain: What positive / negative role did they play on the settlement of the American West? Analyse: How important was their impact on the settlement of the American West?

Revision Cards: Public Health in 19th Century Britain

(0)
These revision cards cover the key factors that you will need to know for 19th Century Public Health in Britain. They make an excellent fun starter, mini plenary or plenary to any lesson. They can also be used by students as revision flash cards. I’ve provided them in word so you can easily adapt them for your own classes. There are three main ways that you can use them. Game 1 involves getting students to read out the key words until the other guesses the topic correctly. Game 2 involves additional challenge and stretch by getting students to describe the topic without using any of the key words on the card. The third game, which adds an additional layer of fun or challenge involves playing a round of Pictionary or Charades. I normally give my students 3 minutes of each round to help activate the learning and warm up the class. You could also have a freestyle round where students decide which game they want to play linked to their learning style. If you are trying to engage some under achieving boys, add some competition and get them to keep score in the back of their books. I would recommend printing them off on card and getting your students to cut them out. Then put the cards into an envelope for class use. If you are a student then keep them in your pocket and use them as a flash card to help you learn the key facts, If there is a term that you do not understand then as your teacher or do some extra research. From a revision perspective, you can print off the cards and get your students to learn the key words for a test or for their exams. These are a win, win resource. The kids will love them and they will help to improve your results. This resource is supplied in Microsoft Word so it can be easily edited and adapted to suit your students. Kind Regards Roy
