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.

A stand alone lesson or a great introduction to a variety of topics - using Fortnite trackers as a (worryingly successful) hook.
Includes:
Business Studies: Mini-Business Case study of Epic Games and it’s unique business model + comparisons to others
ICT: Excel formulas, SUM, AVERAGE, adding charts, calculating % increases and using conditional formatting.
Maths: Understanding and practice of % increases
Features stretch activities and literacy questions, literacy and numeracy settler activity, peer assessments and a plenary quiz.
Excel features demonstrated in a series of video clips (embedded in the PowerPoint).
~ Every time my students were given a chance they’d be checking their stats on Fortnite tracker - I figure if pupils are interested in stats this is too good an opportunity to pass up. If you can’t beat them - join 'em.
