These resources provides students with a 'TOPIC ON A PAGE’ summary for the component units for Paper 1 of the Medicine in Britain, c1250–present and the Environmental Study on the Trenches Unit. They fully cover the syllabus content for each topic and can be used by students and teachers to: a) consolidate knowledge and understanding to encourage student mastery (embedding academic language and concepts)after students have completed a topic in class or as a homework task, helping them identify areas of strengths and weaknesses b) as a quick starter activity to review prior learning or weeks/months later as a spaced retrieval practice task. I regularly take sections from the placemats and use them to support spiralled learning. c) to encourage relevant exam responses - specifically targeting the themes of explaining the cause of illness, methods of prevention, treatments, care of the sick, public health, important individuals and factors effecting change. d) the question squares can be completed and then cut up into cards to form KAGAN Quiz/Quiz Trade Question and Answer Cards e) as a useful revision aid before the final exam. (Many of my Year 11 students rely on these sheets in the final weeks and days of revision and have commented that they have helped make factual recall of the huge volume of the syllabus content more achievable. The resource includes prompt pictures to appeal to visual learners and can be used as a standalone resource or in conjunction with the Edexcel Pearson Revision Guide, where all of the answers can be found. This resource can also be used in conjunction with the topic placemats that I have produced to support students in lessons. The first box contains the same summary picture for the whole topic. In particular, I have successfully used the TOPIC ON A PAGE summaries with the ‘EXAM TECHNIQUE’ side of the placemats so when students are given exam questions, they can quickly find relevant supporting knowledge to use in a response. I have used this resource successfully with students targeted Levels 4 - 9. It could be easily adapted for students working on or below L3. The ‘fill in the gaps’ prompts can be removed for higher ability students.

Battlefield Britain - Supporting Worksheets: The Battle of Hastings The Spanish Armada The Battle of Britain The Battle of Naseby

Worksheets to support the Documentary series: Programme 1 ‘Feud Glorious Feud’ - takes a journey back to the Dark Ages, before laws were written down and trials involved harsh physical ordeals with boiling water and red hot pokers. But by the end of this period, the Saxons had created the very first sophisticated legal systems of courts and juries some 200 years before they were formally introduced. Programme 2 ‘Guilty as Charred’ - studies the period up to and after the Norman invasion was perhaps the most turbulent in the history of law. But in the 150 years from 1066, the legal system was transformed. This period saw the signing of Magna Carta and the establishment of the three major planks of a modern legal system: independent judges, trial by jury, and English common law. Programme 3 ‘New King on the Block’ - looks at he battle over freedom of speech and how the monarch finally lost its power, and its head. As crucial as Magna Carta, the introduction of the Bill of Rights in 1688 saw Parliament and politicians now assume complete domination over the monarchy for good. Programme 4 ‘Have I got Noose for You’ - examines the huge escalation in the amount of law-making with the rise of industrialised society in the eighteenth century. And with thinkers such as Voltaire, Locke and especially Jeremy Bentham, the modern ideas of prison, reform and rehabilitation for offenders begin to emerge. All worksheets are written in Publisher and formatted to A3. The resources can be saved as PDF files for A4 printing
