KS3 Henry VIII
Five lessons well resourced and researched to create a flowing scheme of work for KS3.
Each lesson is fully differentiated and includes options for SEN and LA pupils as well as challenging HA+. Pupils enjoy these lessons because they link back to prior knowledge they may have attained through primary school, activities include creating facebook conversations, carousel tasks and levelled extended writing, of which could be marked formally if you so wish.
All lessons available to buy singularly for £2-£3 on my TES shop.
There are some lessons missing from the SOW as a whole because I hadn’t made the other lessons from scratch, for example you may want to include lessons such as the dissolution of the monasteries, pilgrimage of grace, and others.
Narrative Account Skills Lesson (Edexcel History American West 9-1)
Lesson aimed at intervention prior to examination, pupils develop narrative account skills as well as knowledge of the cattle industry - an area that, judging by SAMS material the exam board are keen to examine.
Pupils read the sample answer and pick out what is wrong with it
Pupils catagorise information into rise and fall of the cattle industry, they colour code it rather than writing it out to save time
pupils create a word bank of connectives
pupils create a narrative account using step by step guide and template which can be found on the worksheet - PPT takes pupils through the account step by step so you can give your group as little or as much support as necessary.
