Some notes suiting those studying WJEC A Level History and Tudor Rebellion. A brief reminder looking at how the rebellion of Rhys ap Gruffydd was a success and then a look at the limitations of the rebellion. May help with the revision of the rebellion.

This exam has been written in the style of a GCSE paper. It comes in two sections. Section A.COAL. 20 marks. 1-What does the source show about conditions in the coal mine. 2-Describe how coal was taken to the surface. 3-Explain why so many miners were killed down the mines. 4-Did conditions in the coal mines improve in the nineteenth century? Section B: Conditions in the cotton mills. 25 marks. 1-What does source A show you about... 2-Use the information in source B and your own knowledge to explain... 3-How useful is source C to an historian studying... 4-Why do Sources D and E say different things about... This is an excellent exam which is accessible to the majority of students. It gets progressively more difficult in both sections. Excellent for preparing students for GCSE style questions.

SIX SIDES OF NOTES DISCUSSING THE EVENTS OF THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS, THE ROLE OF INDIVIDUALS AND THE CONSEQUENCES. SUITABLE FOR GCSE STUDENTS OF HISTORY.

A simple activity to analyse the success of the Weimar Republic 1924-1929. Pupils are encouraged to think thematically and group the cards in to three themes and then split the themes into groups which identify whether the years were a success or not. They can then order the cards within these themed groups into chronological order. Takes about twenty minutes.

This PowerPoint is a pretty hefty piece of work. There are over 160 slides which contain all the information pupils need to study this unit of work. Within these 160 slides are a huge variety of class based activities that you can use to reinforce learning and get the pupils to think. There are also exam style questions included within the slides that you can give as classwork or homework. It compliments the Causes of Crime booklet that I also have for sale on here or it can be used alone.

This resource suits Year 7 pupils who have just studied the Battle of Hastings and are about to embark on answering the question - why did William win and Harold lose? The cards have been split into four categories looking at why William won. Pupils can be given all the cards and can work out a 'theme' themselves e.g. William won because of Harold's bad luck or you can give them the themes and they then decide which card fits into each theme. There are four pages to this activity, with the theme on each page which you can cut out and give to the pupils or omit for the more able pupils to work out themselves. This exercise encourages the pupils to answer the question in a structured way rather than them simply telling the story of the Battle of Hastings which will limit the level they can achieve. After completing the card sorting activity pupils can then write four paragraphs with a clear opening statement for each paragraph which directly answers the question. They can then back up the statement with evidence/facts (as seen in the cards) and then in their own words explain why this resulted in a win for William. Pupils can be encouraged to do some further research to add more detail to their answers but by following this card sorting activity they have got a clear structure to follow.

THIS RESOURCE IS FOR GCSE STUDENTS OF THE HISTORY OF CRIME, POLICING AND PUNISHMENT. THIS TEST COVERS THE POLICING SECTION OF THE GCSE. THE 21 QUESTIONS ALSO COME WITH THE ANSWERS SEPARATELY.

When pupils ask 'What's a Level 4 Mrs Williams?' I would simply refer to this on my wall display and I would also place a smaller version in their books (this comes with the resource too). Also handy to point out to parents on parents evening who would ask things like 'What does a Level 4 mean in History and how does my son get to a Level 5?' This also benefited the non-specialist teaching staff in the department who were told they had to teach history. With their time limited, they found that this was a useful resource to refer to when assessing pupil work.
