Students will start by looking at a brief history of naval warfare by completing a word fill and chronology task. The main task involves them reading about naval warfare during WWI, WWII, the Cold War and the First Gulf War. To record their finding they will be drawing pictures which by the end will show the evolution of naval warfare. To end they will explain briefly how naval warfare development over the course of the 20th century.

To finalise they will summarise the development of aerial warfare into a paragraph.

You will then look at breaking down an exam question (The Hundred Years War was important to the development of England and France as nation states. How far do you agree?) after which they will attempt to answer it using hints and sentence starters on the board.

The fifth of a six lesson scheme. This lesson explores the reasons why the French triumphed in the Hundred Years War. Students will gain an overview of the context before completing a word fill exercise on the reasons why the French won. To cement this knowledge the students will be given a choice as to which tasks they complete to re-interpret this information. To finish students will need to explain why the French won in 3 paragraphs.

A resource that enables you to create a timeline for the Edexcel Weimar and Nazi Germany topic for use on a display board. The grey spaces I left on my display board (as seen in the resources image) are for either a big landspace picture or key words.

A slightly tweaked version of a similar lesson already available.

This lesson follows on from my Inca lesson. This will enable students to understand how a small group of Spaniards was able to bring a mighty empire to its knees. After completing a few smaller tasks (key words, colouring in the rest of the Spanish empire of their map etc). Students will spend 20 minutes watching youtube video that details how the Inca empire came to an abrupt halt. Whilst doing this students will create a pictorial map detailing the key events.

This lesson looks at the consequence of Europeans discovering and settling in the New World. Students will initially annotate a world map to show the transfer of goods, diseases, people etc from the New World to the Old and vice versa. They will then watch a 10 minute video that provides and overview of this transfer and some of the consequences of it. They will then complete a mind map/worksheet from what they have learned as well as information from the slides. This will give them a good grounding on the positive and negative impacts of the Columbian exchange on both the New and Old Worlds as well as the wider biodiversity of Earth. To finish students will write 3 paragraphs, one detailing what the Columbian Exchange was and one each on the consequence this has had on the history of the New and Old worlds.

The second of a two part series looking at the Inca empire before and as the Spanish arrive.
