Ten amazing women who changed the world. THIS RESOURCE IS FREE FOR THREE MONTHS! I will transfer this resource to my charity resource category after this introductory period. After a year of aggression, dictatorship, war crimes, riots and other negatives, I felt driven to look for positives to contrast these horrendous activities. This resource looks back in history in order to select women who have made a significant influence on attitudes across the World. I have selected ten amazing women who for contrasting reasons have left a legacy of positivity. In spite of prejudice, bigotry and racism, my chosen, ten have shown courage and determination during their journey in life. The resource includes: Two power point presentations, the first asks the question who are these women? The second highlights in detail what they achieved. An optional commentary has been printed for your use. The minimum use of the resource would be two one hour lessons with limited commentary. Maximum use would be four to ten lessons focusing on each woman to identify how they differed and how they left their mark on society and the wider world. Peace and Love.

This resource is offered free to Geography teachers who are returning to the classroom after the challenges of lock down 2021. This Geography resource challenges the children to test their knowledge and find out more about the cities and familiar places in the British Isles. The first part of the challenge refers mainly to the cities of the British Isles and it comes in the form of an anagram. The second part of the challenge focuses mainly on rivers or counties as well as other connections. There are two formats on offer: 1) As a Power Point Presentation. This shows an image of the city or a familiar place. Above each image there is the anagram and also a follow up question. The children will enjoy the challenge of working out the anagram! Who will be first to solve the puzzle? The whole class can be guided through the challenge with the teacher supporting the progress with clues. The children can be encouraged to offer extra information about places they have visited. All of the children move on to the next challenge together and no-one gets left behind. There may be enough extension work to split this challenge into two lessons (10 images used in each lesson). 2) The second format offers this resource as a four sided A4 paper document that can be printed and used in various ways. It can be used as a homework project involving families or individuals. It may also be used as a cover lesson if any of the teachers are absent. Having completed the City Geography Challenge, a possible extension to this work could be a “Fact File Project” where each child produces five more pieces of factual information about each of the 20 images. Another possible use of the resource would be to compile sentences including the two pieces of geographical information from each challenge. This would help the children to develop their literacy skills. I believe that this resource can be used for children from 9 years through to 15 years of age. The younger children will need greater guided support than those in KS3 or KS4. Please feel free to visit my TES shop to check out my resources. All income goes to three different homeless charities.
