Hi Here is a 30+ page book of activities, practise questions and planning tools for the Edexcel GCSE History course (new spec). It covers all aspects of the Superpower relations, Cold War 1945-1991 course in a big workbook of revision sheets. There are mutliple quizes, previous exam questions, sample sources questions with writing frames and guidance and revision lotus grids. To use a lotus grid students for each of the nine topics on it, try to come up with nine facts, names, key terms or anything quickly. Note: This is a book of activities, not content. It is assumed that students have been taught the relevant content or have access to the knowledge. I hope you find it useful. If you buy it you are welcome to print as many copies as you like.

In this lesson we look at the key events in the UK (and America) that led to LGBTQ+ rights laws being passed in the UK. For example the Stone Wall Riots and Gays and Lesbian support the miners from 1980s England. The plenary is taken from another person’s TES resource, but the rest has been built by me. I hope you find it useful and share freely. I strongly believe lessons should be shared for free to help the next generation of teachers to succeed.

Revision board games to help students revise Edexcel GCSE History for the courses: Germany 1919-39 (Weimar and Nazi Germany) The History of Medicine medieval to modern The Cold War and Superpower relations 1941-91 Early Elizabethan England. I have made these for GCSE History, but the templates could be easily adapted for languages, science or any other subject. Inspired by ideas I saw on Twitter, but completely made from scratch in Powerpoint. These have been made on A4 size slides so will print out nicely (Battleships works well on A3 too). All of them can be edited and used as templates for further sets of games.

This lesson looks at the various 20th century laws that were introduced to bring about more equality. It has a focus on the Dagenham Women who fought Ford in 1968 over pay and job grading as well as looking at the current issue of the Gender Pay Gap. This lesson is part of a Year 9 unit on equal rights in the UK. The part with the big bits of paper is best done with three pieces of A2 size sugar paper.

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 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.

A lesson looking at Stalin’s policies to modernise Russia. This lesson is intended as either an information hunt or as group packs.

Here is a lesson as part of a study for Year 9 of key events from the Cold War. For average and more able there is a reading comprehension task, for weaker groups a storyboard. The reading is a combination of History.com and a BBC article. I have also attached at the end of the Powerpoint a slide of information I found in another users lesson which might be useful for the weaker ones too. At the end we look at plots to kill Castro as part of Operation Mongoose. For a longer lesson you could have some fun planning your own attempts. A few slides and bits are taken from other peoples resources, thank you for your contributions.

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.

Here is everything you need for a GCSE lesson looking at the Religious Settlement. It covers the difficulties of making a balance to appease Catholics and Protestants. My lessons to follow up on Puritans and Jesuits are also available on TES. I have used a couple of parts from other people’s resources and I thank them for their contributions. I have shared this resource for free, please do so as well should you find it to be useful.

Hi Here is a lesson investigating the death of Emily Davison and students through multiple sources decide for themselves if she was an accident or martyr. The source sheets I cut up and put in to envelopes so that each pair/small group has a pack of evidence to work through. Most of this is just polished up and updated. It includes a differentiated work sheet for LAP. It has used some old resources from other authors and I thank them for their contribution.

Here is lesson 3 for Jack the RIpper. Year 8. The lesson has an extended alternate task for top set classes. The reading sheet is within the Power Point file. THe personality sheets are an alternative activity, I don’t use it anymore, but it might be of use to you. You could also use it if teaching a longer lesson. I have used other people’s resources to make this and I thank them for their support and contributions. Enjoy.

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.

These are a series of questions that cover the whole of the GCSE History of Medicine course (new spec). They are intended to be a quick tool for settling/starting a lesson. I put one slide before each lesson of Germany just while the class are arriving, then we discuss them and go onto our new content. I hope they are helpful.
