We at The Knowledge House have a simple philosophy - that resources should be designed to raise student achievement.
We have no detailed informative PPTs with large chunks of text that put kids to sleep.
All of our lessons require students to actually do the work. There are card-sorts, chronology tasks, essay planning sheets, significance pyramids, anagrams among others.
These engage students from the starter right through to exam practice.
Each resource carries simple to follow instructions so students can complete the tasks for homework or as feedback, making your marking a lot less time intensive!
There are 12 PPTs, each corresponding to the chapters on the Pearson textbook.
These lessons have been planed using content from both the Hodder and Pearson textbook, although neither textbook is needed to complete the activities.
We hope you enjoy these lessons. Please leave a review or email info@theknowledgehouse.co.uk if you have any questions, queries or comments.
