A game based loosely on the board game. This activity is an engaging method of revisiting key elements of Medicine in the Ancient World. It comes complete with rules, guidance and easy to cut out currency. Prior to playing this game my own classes have completed a research project into the Ancient World either in class at the end of Year 9 or as a homework project prior to beginning their GCSE study of medicine through time. The project booklet is included in this package, though is available as a free resource from my resource list.

This British Empire booklet covers the key points in the GCSE specifications that offer it as an option. The period covered in c1650 to 1858. The British Empire developed as the United Kingdom was being formed. The reference materials in the booklet explore the Uniting of the Kingdoms and the influence that those events had upon colonialism. Though the content is much the same as at Key Stage 3, the depth is significantly greater. In this resource we look at the development of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, from the forming of the Royal Africa Company through to the abolition of Slavery for the merchants of the East India Company in 1848 (Yes, after everywhere else in the Empire). The commercial aspects of Empire are assessed through looking at the impact of trade on major ports and the increase in consumerism. So too is the way that this influenced society. The emergence of Coffee Shops and the radical ideas formed there, along with a look at the racial theories that were developed in the 19th century. At 19000 words long this resource provides plenty of facts for students to refer to. It’s a great tool for them to have access to as it is written with them in mind. It isn’t too long, it isn’t too academic, it is pitched at their level (accessible for those on the boundary of passing and above). Resources to go alongside the booklet are being produced. We regularly send out information related to the British Empire on our facebook page. facebook.com/schoolshistory The booklet is also available for download onto a kindle via amazon and at our website schoolshistory.org.uk

**Black History Month and the centenary of the end of the First World War are both significant events on the calendar of HIstory Departments this term. ** -suitable for assemblies useful for Black History Month Relates to the centenary of the end of the First World War Scope for classroom activities based on the contents Includes images that can be used for display This presentation and collection of images relating to Black and Asian service in the First World War provides an excellent tool for covering the role played by Black and Asian servicemen in the Great War. It is multinational in approach, highlighting the fact that the war was a global one. It challenges the perception of the conflict being a white mans war, fought in Europe, from the opening slides. It uses facts such as the first shot fired by the British Empire being in Australia, and the first by the British Army itself by a Black Soldier of the Gold Coast Regiment to illustrate how the role of Black ad Asian services was interlinked with that of British, French or German ‘regular’ armies. The presentation contains 23 slides. Each includes an image and is accompanied by facts about this aspect of Black and Asian service in the war. The role of the Army and Navy are included in the presentation. It is suitable for an assembly on the topic as the information on the slides speaks for itself. A Non specialist can ask pupils to reflect on some issues, or consider the global geography involved in the examples provided. Within a history classroom the examples can be explored in more depth. Where, When and Why were men from around the world, from so many cultures, involved in a conflict such as the First World War? To help with this there is a zip file containing 52 images relating to Black and Asian service in the Great War.

Medicine in History is a fun topic that brings Ancient and Medieval Civilizations to life. Class research the way that Medicine was practiced in the Ancient World before playing the game. The rules that are included are easy to adapt. Lots of classes like to add questions, alter the rules to make it their own etc. Medicine and it’s history are huge topics so extending the activity is easy to achieve through out of class work. This game has been used for 18 years now and I have found it to really engage learners.

This is a tried and tested activity for classes of all abilities following a GCSE History course that includes a Medicine through time unit. It has previousl been used as both an introductory exercise (able groups) and as a revision exercise for mixed classes. It highlights the various types of beliefs and treatments available in the Medieval period whilst also showing that there was a class divide. The activity was designed to be completed in an hour long session in a large classroom. It works best with tables and chairs rearranged. This activity inspired some of the activities included in my work published by Hodder Murray.

The Great War saw Black and Asian soldiers and sailors from around the globe heavily involved in conflict. For the first time global interconnections saw men of all backgrounds and cultures participating in a major war. This presentation looks at the global aspects of Black and Asian participation in the Great War.

The presentation includes: 23 slides covering the role of Black and Asian men in the Army and Navy Images and facts relating to the role of men from around the world Examples of firsts by Black servicemen The presentation includes enough facts for a non specialist to use it as a short assembly. It is editable so can be added to to make it region specific. There is also a zi file with over 50 images of Black and Asian servicemen from the First World War. Other areas: Equality. For many of these volunteer and conscript soldiers the hope of a better world was a motivation. To what extent was this realised? We use the example of the British West Indian Regiment within the presentation. Similar questions can be raised about the men of the Indian Army, from African colonies or from the Harlem Fire Raisers or Canadian Black Regiment.
