A dynamic learning activity that keeps students moving to make learning more fun and interesting as students 'speed-date' information about various aspects of the Industrial Revolution to complete a work sheet. Follow up questions and a modified version for students with literacy learning needs is included. Instructions are on the activity-provided in Word and PDF (because sometimes the layout of word changes from computer to computer).

Historical period New Kingdom Egypt to the Death of Thutmose IV- revision activities.

Information relating to Hatshepsut Personality study Ancient History Yr 12. Syllabus checklist for students to use as a study tool, Overview of Religion in the period & Role of Pharaoh in the Period linked to syllabus requirements. Note, I teach this in conjunction with the Historical Period: New Kingdom to Thutmose IV hence the 'quick reviews'. Reference to 'Edmodo' is for my students only but similar information can be found online.

Designed for my Year 10 History class but it would be suitable for other high school year groups and other subjects than history (e.g. Science, Geography and English). The idea with this is to get students to engage with topic information in textbooks or other sources and then turn this into a structured lesson. Teacher instructions and lesson planning worksheets are included.

A couple more "brain warmers" to use as a quick pre-lesson engagement and brain warm up activity or a quick study break. These work a treat in getting disengaged students listen and work well as a classroom management tool..very worthwhile in using a few minutes of each lesson for these in my experience as the rest of the lesson goes much more smoothly and learning time is more effective.

Quick brain starter quizzes to engage students and warm up their brains at the beginning of a lesson. Who am I? What am I? image reveal (sorry if some of the animation does not work so well).

More brain starters to warm up student thinking and engage them in the lesson. They can also be used as a quick study break.

Revision and summary tool aligned to syllabus for each of the following topics. This tells students all areas of the syllabus (content and skills) that they are required to know and gives them a handy place to make revision notes and list related sources and evidence.Personality in Their Times- HatshepsutCore Topic- Cities of VesuviusAncient Society- Sparta to the Battle of Lecutra 371BCHistorical Period- New Kingdom Egypt to the Death of Thutmose IV

Explores the beginnings of Roman civilisation, the legacies and peoples in the region before the Romans and Roman appropriation of these legacies. It also explores Roman expansion and Hannibal and the Punic Wars and looks at 'big idea' concepts such as change and continuity, cause and effect and legacies of the past.

Explores Muslim religion and aspects of Islamic culture to debunk the myths. Explore the legacies of Islamic culture and the rights and some of the freedoms within the cultures of Islam. The aim of this information is to develop tolerance and understanding and respect for diversity.

A couple of assessment task options for Year 8 History

Half yearly and yearly exams for Year 11 Ancient History that I have created and used. Relate to History, Science and Sources as well as Deir el Medina, Thera and Ancient Human Remains.

A couple of revision quizzes and activities for Year 10 History covering Australia in the Vietnam Era, Changing Rights and Freedoms (Aboriginals and Women) and other miscellaneous History topics and skills.

An Internet treasure hunt/end of year activity for students. Makes an easy instant lesson in an emergency or for end of year activities.

Four Spheres Tutorial worksheet plus a ‘sentence arrange'. Print pages at the end of the tutorial. This is a kinaesthetic learning & literacy activity that can be used after the students have learned about the "four spheres”. One sheet per student with a word on it. Students stand out the front and work to sort themselves and the words into the right order so that it makes a proper sentence with geographically accurate information. Students without a card can assist by giving advice on the correct order. At the end, students say their word in order to read the completed sentence.

This is a simple instant lesson (requires booking of a computer room or student laptop access). A great purposeful activity at the end of the school year or instant lesson on short notice. Students research their answers with the reward of free time once completed.

Adapted to the Australian context and updated to 2013 from a 2012 English context quiz created by TES Australia ( titled "My Christmas Quiz"). Credits and acknowledgements to TES (and I hope that this is okay as I thought it was a great idea, but many of the questions were irrelevant to Australia and outdated).My adaptations took a bit of time, so I thought I'd share the outcome of these changes with others. I have also added answer sheets at the end- might work best in groups and the answer sheets added so that students don't call out answers.

Empathy task based around the Federation of Australia with a related research task (could be homework or a formative formal assessment task). Aimed at Year 9 NSW Syllabus "Australia 1901 to 1914" but adaptable to the new curriculum.

Year 12 HSC half yearly examination covering core topic "Cities of Vesuvius" + Ancient Society- Sparta + Personality in the times- Hatshepsut + Historical Period- New Kingdom Egypt to the Death of Thutmose IV. Related marking rubric also attached. This could be used as an a formal assessment task or exam or as a revision aid.

Worksheet activities relating to events surrounding the Cold War K19 Russian Submarine incident 1961. It can be used in conjunction with the movie "K19 The Widowmaker". An extension option also looks at other Cold War era events. Useful as an end of term activity for students who have learned about the Cold War. Includes historical concepts such as perspectives and interpretation, cause and effect and empathy. A nice extra discussion point at the end for capable students is to debate whether or not this movie is actually sympathetic toward Russian perspective or is in fact much more biased toward the American perspective (consider in view of the points on the sheet).
