simulation to help students understand the issues of overspeculation and overproduction that led to WSC

Was browsing an old Teaching History and saw an article by Steve Garnett which have immediately stolen! It’s really simple and really effective. Basically, a large circle in the centre of a page represents a concept, e.g Bismarck’s foreign policy (Steve’s example) or the Break with Rome (my example attached). Other circles placed strategically, in terms of size and location, represent key influences on that issue. Could also be used for effective essay planning.

From a SOW I'm currently writing about Henry II and Becket. This board game is about the medieval church. A priest, a noble and a peasant have to get to heaven. Journey by way of church courts and indulgences, to set the scene for the specific church privilege which caused conflict between Henry II and Becket and also the indulgences issue which is a long-term link to a planned future unit on the reformation.

investigation into the Trojan War. half term scheme of work Sept 2012 - I had a company called Enrichment through Archaeology in to do a workshop with my Y9 to support this SOW yesterday. They were fabulous - very well prepared resources, lovely people and a great day - best of all, was perfectly tailored to suit this SOW, which I sent Dr Parker Heath in advance - just what you want from a workshop! Would heartily recommend.

Although this is all on one powerpoint, I used it in 2 halves, as an intro to Somerset and then as an intro to Northumberland. Spaced learning works on the principle of repeating an activity to enhance recall. I do the first run through explaining the content. then there is a 5 minute break for juggling (or simon says, or…) then we repeat - they give as much info as they can and I clarify through questions or reminders break 3rd and final run through they have to give me all of it - I sometimes run this as a competition ‘me vs. them’ - every time I have to tell them something they lose a point from a starter of 10 and I gain one from a starter of 0. Lastly they need to test themselves independently - you can do this by a written ‘quiz’ or by giving them a copy of the ppt slides and requiring them to annotate them

This is an outline of a lesson structure I use all the time to create more lesson time for developing understanding, rather than knowledge transmission, and to encourage students to become more independent in their arguments.

Inspired by the idea of learning grids (See Outstanding teaching Engaging Learners by Andy Griffith and Mark Burns, p38), this game contains all the key events of the period from 1524-1534 - the King's Great Matter (quest for an annulment) to the Act of Supremacy. Rules for the game are included. The objectives are to recap key events and to link ideas together. A summary of events in the years 1524-1534 (pertinent to the annulment/supremacy) is also included.
