**The actual download is in the correct order. Preview is out of sequence due to some issue with TES***. This lesson is intended for Year 7, but could be modified for older students. It is my take on 'je suis le roi'. Students read the cartoon, update the map and write about what happened. When it is done, they get the next cartoon etc. They should work in small groups 2-4 students per group. Students can then see the spread of Norman influence as on the map. WARNING it takes ages to make due to cutting out the tokens, but once you have made it you just top them up when needed every year. I would advise keeping tokens in packs (envelopes). I hope you enjoy it. Please remember that I have shared this for free, please do so too.

Hi This lesson is about Frank Bright a Jewish man who lives near Ipswich (UK) and survived the ghettos and death camps of the Nazi regime. His story is important and sharing it keeps his experience alive for us to learn from. The class mates cards are simply cut out and one is placed under each child’s book. When we get to the relevant slide they come up and find their person and then as a class we discuss what happened to them and consider what would it be like if it was their class now. I hope that Mr Bright does not mind me sharing his story, from my research on him he seems very keen for his story to keep being told. I also thank those History teachers who first reached out and researched his life to benefit the rest of us.

This a lesson covering healers, treatments and causes of disease in the medieval era. It is intended as a lesson to plant some core knowledge in Year 7's prior to doing GCSE later.

My resources may use copyrighted material which I thank the owner for. My resources are shared for free for the benefit of the students. Please honour this.

Enjoy lesson one from a unit on Jack the Ripper intended for Year 8. It includes differentiation for ability. I have used some resources in particular the information sheet which I believe came from another resource. I thank them for their contribution. Have fun.

This lesson focuses on life as a slave and how sugar plantations were controlled. By the end students should be able to compare the plantation hierarchy to the feudal system. It is intended for Year 8 so it is not overtly graphic. I have used some resources from TES and SHP when building this so I thank them for their contributions.

This lesson looks at the impact of sugar on British society and then goes into an introduction on slavery, what it is and why it happened. I have made this with a combination of my own and resources from others, I thank them for their contributions.

This is a history lesson for GCSE students based on the new Edexcel spec. It could also be modified for KS3. It covers sport, art and culture in Nazi Germany. I have a lesson available on Weimar culture as well. I envision this as a resource pack activity, but it could also be used as an information hunt. This resource may use elements of other teachers work or copyrighted materials. I thank them for any/all contributions. My resources are free because that is how teachers should work, support the teaching community rather than profit from it. If you decide to share this please do so freely.

A PowerPoint for GCSE students on Weimar Germany's culture and living standards. Included is an information hunt and resources.

Hi. This lesson looks at the changes to public health in the Industrial Revolution. It covers the work of Jenner, Pasteur, Nightingale, Chadwick and more. The lesson is differentiated for average through to top set and would just need more scaffolding for bottom set. If the preview is messed up, blame TES. The actual download will be fine.* It uses an information hunt and has a conclusion/judgement task included. I have spent a lot of time making this and choose to share it for free to benefit the students and other teachers. If you download this please also respect this by sharing it for free.

This lesson looks at the causes of detente, SALT 1, the Helsinki Accords and SALT 2. It would ideally be followed up by a second lesson on the subject as this lesson gives an overview of the big events, but does not cover the smaller parts such as the space mission. It should tackle the issue of treaties being dry by using the group activity. **If the preview is out of sequence it is a TES issue, the actual download will be fine.*** I thank any and all contributors to this resource and as I have shared this resource for free ask that anybody else does so too.

This lesson looks at the various 20th century laws that were introduced to bring about more equality.
