Introduction to the attack on pearl harbor print out - great activity to get the class in and settled. YouTube video clip from 'Simple History' (link included on worksheet, I don't not own the video, or take any credit for the video). Really useful task to see what pupils already know and get them interacting with videos!

Tried and tested! Here's how it works: The animated PowerPoint has a slide for each step of this WHOLE LESSON plan! The class decide between two debate questions (on the powerpoint slide). The class are split into two groups (for and against) and have to complete the 'debate plan sheet' in their groups. One person is picked to be judge. I picked the person who normally causes disruptions and found giving this pupil a role helped to include them/control behaviour issues. The judge has the 'you have been chosen to be the judge' sheet which explains their rules. The judge also fills out the 'Judge Plan' sheet (so they are working whilst the rest of the class is too). A truly lovely lesson - the class enjoyed it and so did I. Great to hear opinions being shared by all pupils. Great practice for GCSE writing to argue questions.

Used common words such as said, big, small, looked, went, then etc! Really pretty effective - I've printed them out with black background and created a gothic corner - looks fab! Clip art from - http://cliparts.co/tombstone-clip-art

A colourful workbook to be given to your pupils! A workbook containing slow writing tables and writing spaces for pupils.

I've used clip art from 'http://cliparts.co/' and all picture credit goes to them!
