King John – from his troublesome fighting with his brother (Lionheart) to his troublesome time as King ending in Magna Carta and the Baron’s War. This SOW focusses on John’s policies both foreign and domestic and the consequences they had for his people. Works well as a stand alone SOW but is also integrated into the free to play History game world at WA (check it out if you haven’t already!)
Each lesson contains a quick start guide, literacy & numeracy starter, teacher narrative context pages (chance for you to do some storytelling !) plenaries, a range of active learning episodes and a focus on writing skills. Homework, EAL and stretch activity sheets.
The 7 lessons, along with the main lesson activities, are as follows:
Richard I, Crusades & John (Plantagenet map relay, round robin Crusader battle reports, reading comprehension tasks, consult the codex activity).
John’s Early Life (John v Longchamp card sort/PEEKA paragraph practice and assessment/consult the codex activity)
John & Taxes (‘Be the teacher’ activity/essay construction practice/consult the codex activity)
John & War (Army recruiter role play presentations & Bouvines video)
Magna Carta (Baron grievances card sort/prioritisation tasks/PEEKA writing development)
The Baron’s War (Round the Room battle reporting/descriptive writing task/videos)
End of Unit Assessment (Planning and prep for a Narrative Analysis, Edexcel style Q on John’s legacy).
Hope it helps.
Remember – works best when the students are playing the (free!) King John game and completing the codex at the same time (perfect ongoing homework task or ict room lesson).

1066 and the aftermath of conquest - featuring a unique immersive interactive Learning World (free to play!). The Learning World feeds directly into the in class lesson activities and can be used as an ongoing homework project – students can complete the free codex booklet as they go to consolidate learning.
It is a very comprehensive SOW that covers the Norman conquest and its impact on English society. Each and every lesson has been made with enough differentiation, activity variety, cross-curricular support and progress checks that they could be used comfortably ‘out of the box’ in an observation lesson. Care has also been taken to make sure the skills complement each other across the SOW and build up to progress in exam writing ability, source analysis and soft skill development. I’m quite proud of it – if I may say so!
The first two lessons and the Learning World Codex are free to download (some of the slides are not editable in these free versions) but the remaining lessons are for sale and are fully editable.
From my experience it created a huge ‘buzz’ about learning in the classroom and I even had kids in other classes asking to use it. So soon the whole department were using it and at KS3 parent’s evening it was all the parents talked about – many of them had also played through the Learning World.
Note: The Learning World is a ‘beta’ version – I am currently looking for someone to upgrade the artwork to make a few things look more ‘Normany’. But I guarantee the pupils will love it.

This is part of a series of 7 lessons (and 3 Guided Reading Activities) about the New Deal. It is aimed at A Level/IB students and focusses on the New Deal’s policies, their impact, the opposition to them and the historiography of them since. All the lessons contain all the resources within them required for the students to successfully research and answer the questions. Where external sources have been used for evidence, they have been cited.
The other lessons in the series are as follows:
What was it? > A deep dive look at the key alphabet agencies and their impact.
Impact of the New Deal > A look at 4 cross sections of US society/economy and the impact the alphabet agencies had, for better or worse.
The Second New Deal > An investigation into the reasons why a Second New Deal was required and how they laid the foundation for the modern welfare state.
Opposition to the New Deal > A research exercise (with materials to research) of the key opposition figures to the New Deal and their philosophies.
The impact of the Second World War > How the Second World War ‘saved’ FDR from the ‘Roosevelt Recession’ and how it changed the political landscape. Included in this lesson is the Guided Reading activity for the War’s impact (resource 8)
The historiography of the New Deal > A look at two opposing interpretations (resources 9 and 10) and then an activity looking at six different historical interpretations of the New Deal followed by a class debate.
An essay question focussing on the impact of the New Deal – was it mostly economic or political in nature? Students are guided through the process of preparing, structuring and then writing the essay.
An extended reading activity on the Second World War’s impact on the New Deal
An extended ready activity looking at criticism of the New Deal
An extended reading activity looking at support for the New Deal, especially the WPA.

A unique set of keyword cards for the Russian Revolution.
11 Cards are general historical factors/concepts and writing techniques.
52 Cards are specific to the study of the Russian Revolution, from 1905 to the death of Lenin in 1924.
They can be used in multiple ways, from simple flash/memory cards to combining them with their point total to write paragraphs using as many of the words as possible. Instructions for various activities are included.
Wolsey Academy have found this style of ‘trading card’ revision technique has dramatically increased student engagement and boosted grades and test scores as a result. The cards are also editable so you can change them as you see fit.

20 Lessons that cover thre main topics: 1066, Becket and King John/Magna Carta.
All lessons include all the resources you need ready to use/print/share at the end of the slides.
All three topics also integrate into the free to play ‘free roaming/RPG’ history games which can be found at Wolsey Academy complete with supporting workbooks. These make excellent and engaging homeworks with the students coming in buzzing to learn more about the video game they’ve just been playing.
All lessons also include a settler slide that focuses on numeracy and literacy (don’t be concerned if you see lots of typos on the first slide - it’s part of the literacy correction task!)
The 20 lessons cover a range of writing skills, source analysis and creative tasks to form the backbone of any school’s KS3 History provision.
