10 Revision flash cards and access to an online quiz activity (self marking). This is to be used in conjunction with the incredible Medieval Life Role Playing Game at Wolsey Academy (Google us)
If you have not tried them yet - do so now. Students play a medieval character and roam around a Medieval village talking to the characters and learning about how they learned their lives, completing activities as they do. A really engaging way to get students involved and it makes an excellent homework task.
Hope it helps.
Intelligent Accountability: Creating the conditions for teachers to thrive
by David Didau,
This video and presentation talk you through some of the key points (actually, it doesn’t - it is more of a teacher’s first reaction to having read it).
However, if you check out the video in comibination with the blog post at Wolsey Academy - it should give you a better idea of the content of the book.
This is a hugely important book for the future of education.
I hope this short intro helps.

Lesson activity templates (200+ slides) History, Geography, Computer Science, Business Studies, English.
I started teaching 12 years ago and in my PGCE year I made a ppt file (modestly) called ‘Master Plan’. In there I collected every lesson activity that I could so I could save time by recycling slide templates but also it proved to be a great reservoir of ideas if I was ever stuck for a lesson. And so here it is, hopefully others can benefit too.
They’re divided up into Starters, Development, Plenary and Resources – but they can all be mixed, matched and edited to your needs!
I’ve taught History, Geography, Computer Science, Business Studies and English during the last 12 years (Jack of all trades, master of none…) so the templates come filled in with a wide range of existing information/activities but the idea is not to use these slides in your lessons directly – but just like I’ve done, use them for inspiration and quick editing.
If you’re on the hunt for high quality lessons in the subjects mentioned above please visit Wolsey Academy for more!
Hope it helps.

This is one lesson from a series of 6 lessons that focus on the History of Toys. Each lesson is fully resourced with anything that needs printing at the end of the PowerPoint ready in a print friendly format.

If purchasing just one lesson, make sure you have seen the details for that one below.
These lessons have also been used by our Business Teachers as excellent case studies to introduce new businesses and industries.
