This fun and interactive lesson looks at the problems that faced Mary when she became Queen in 1553. It is set against the context of the failed attempt by Edward VI and his advisors to put Lady Jane Grey on the throne and Mary’s popular decision at the time, to reinstate the Catholic Church. In one of the main activities which you can see in the preview, student’s study a diagram of Mary’s problems, they classify and identify how they are interlinked. This is followed up by a review of which problem was the most significant and an evaluation of how successfully she solved them. The lesson is aimed at KS3 and is suitable for all abilities.
When you purchase this lesson you will be able to download a beautifully illustrated PowerPoint that contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, information slides, historical sources, diagrams, appropriate video clips, templates, tasks and activities. The activities include two classification exercises, a review triangle, questions, a word search and an alternative interlinking task based around a heads and tails exercise to designed to promote a class discussion.
I would normally follow up this lesson by looking at the alternative Protestant interpretation of Queen Mary as ‘Bloody Mary.’ It is assumed that you have already studied teh break with Rome and Edward VI religious reforms before this lesson. For more information on this lesson, please see the sample preview.
The aims and objectives are:
Theme: The Reformation
Know: Why did Mary decided to make England Catholic again in 1553?
Understand: What problems did she inherit from Henry VIII and Edward VI?
Evaluate: What were Queen Mary’s chances of success?
Skills: Cause, Consequence & Collaboration

This outstanding resource, which has been tried and tested over many years is designed to help inject a bit of fun, engage and help students to understand why the German army was so successful from 1939 - 1940. Both the PowerPoint and the worksheet has been beautifully illustrated throughout and the tasks and activities are suitable for the full range of abilities. The planning sheet and follow up literacy exercise will keep your students fully engaged whilst providing a useful piece of work for assessment or display.
When you download this resource you will receive a fourteen slide PowerPoint, a four page worksheet, a planning sheet to help students plan their own invasion using the Blitzkrieg tactics and a literacy task sheet that can be used in lesson or set as homework. The PowerPoint is designed to accompany the worksheet and contains the aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, pictures diagrams and links to video clips, that you will need to teach the lesson. Everything has also been uploaded as a PDF just in case you don’t have access to Microsoft Office.
The key focus of the lesson is to look at how the Blitzkrieg tactics worked by looking at the different weapons and tactics used at each stage. The worksheet includes differentiated activities and questions, but the main activity is to get students to apply what they have learnt by planning their own Blitzkrieg attack in either pairs or groups using the supplied planning sheet. Everything is simply explained and you do not need to be an expert to be able to enjoy this memorable lesson. Ideally, I would spend two lessons on this topic, you can always miss out the questions or trim things here or there if you wanted to only spend one lesson, but that would be a shame but your students will love this topic!
The aims and objectives of the lesson are:
Theme: The Second World War
Know: What were the key features of a Blitzkrieg?
Understand: The differences between trench warfare and a Blitzkrieg?
Evaluate: Why the German Army was successful 1940 - 1940

It has been commissioned by the History Academy to help commemorate the 40th anniversary of one of the biggest turning points in Modern British History, which saw the smashing of the post war consensus. For whatever reason, society has chosen to collectively forget what happened during the Miners’ Strike as it raises uncomfortable issues about civil rights, policing and the arbitary nature of the government’s actions which have helped to create a North South Divide. Our series of lessons, which have been bundled together are at attempt to shine a light on this neglected and forgotten history.

The History Academy has commissioned these resources to help commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Miners’ Strike, 1984 - 1985. We asked Roy Huggins who was Head of History at Mexborough School for 27 years to create these resources based upon his first hand experience of working with the Doncaster Oral History Project, former miners and teaching this important turning point in Modern Britain,which has become a ‘hidden’ or ‘forgotten’ history due to the uncomfortable issues that it raises about policing and civil rights.
In this bundle we have have added all our resources on this topic and will continue to add to it over time, so if you buy today you’ll get the updates and new resources for free.
For more information, please see the sample preview for each lesson. A big thank you to : Martin Shakeshaft - who has allowed us to use several of his photos for free to help promote the teaching of the Miners’ Strike in schools.

This lesson on how the LGBTQ+ community responded to the Miners’ Strike was especially commissioned by the History Academy to help mark the 40th Anniversary in 2024. It looks at the problems facing the LGBTQ+ community during the 1980s, the start of the strike and the work of LGSM to help support Welsh pit communities, as well as how the NUM supported LGBTQ+ rights after the strike. This is very much an attempt to shine a light at an important piece of hidden history, which had a major impact on changing Modern Britain and eventually improving LGBTQ+ civil rights . This lesson is aimed at both KS4 and KS5, but if you are looking for a lighter touch for KS3, then check out our other resources on the Miners’ Strike covering not just LGBTQ+ but how other sections of British society reacted to the MIners’ Strike 1984 - 1985.
When you purchase this lesson, you will be able to download an 18 slide PowerPoint and an accompanying three page worksheet. The PowerPoint contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, starters, plenaries, historical sources, video clips, information slides, a heads and tails activity and series of questions which examine various aspects of both the strike and the LGBTQ+ experience during the 1980s. The accompanying three page worksheet mirrors the content and questions in the PowerPoint. Both resources have also been uploaded as PDFs, just in case you don’t have access to MIcrosoft Office.
