This was created so that students have overview sheet to consolidate change and continuity for AQA Health and the People. I give it to students on their first lesson so they can continually add through the study of medicine. Its divided into surgery, public health, treatments and medical knowledge that students have to really think about where to place key people, events and features of the topic.

A lesson in a SOW for a three year GCSE looking at AQA America Opportunity and America: 1920 -73. This lesson get students to look at how women in America got the vote. Whilst not specifically needed, in a lot of detail for the exam it will give the class a good understanding about the momentum behind the changes to women in the 1920’s. With a broad understanding of the growing independence of women during this period. The lesson includes a GCSE styled question to practice, there are sentence started to help the weaker students in the class as well as challenge tasks to stretch the top end.

I use this task as a mini plenary or starter or a form of revision, each time a student answers as question correctly they can choose a block to remove, they then attempt to guess what the picture is showing and how it links to what we have learnt. The process is repeated until students can guess it. To add a picture past it and shape it to whole screen. Then send the image to the back for it to be behind the numbers that disappear. This works really well for historical sources but also other images and diagrams.

This can be used for a homework task or part of a lesson where students have to write a BBC news article about a particular topic/theme that has been studed. I get students to then pritoise information to include titled for other top stories and make links in the relevant articles section. Change the title to whatever links to what you are learning or leave it blank and get students to add their own.

Norman Conquest: What can the Anglo Saxon Chronicle reveal about the Norman Conquest? (Lesson 5)

The lesson gets students to look at a different interpretation of the Norman Conquest. The task of reading parts of the Anglo-Chronicle is difficult and I would recommend that it is differentiated for some students. The aim is to get students to think about how an event can be interpreted differently by different people. Students work in groups reading through the chronicle and create a sketch chronology (picture flow diagram) of the events it discusses, allowing them to compare it with the events of the bayeux tapestry. Students in the next lesson will attempt to answer a GCSE interpretation question.

The first lesson for the conflict and tension in Asia 1950-75. The lesson that tries to set the background to the Korean War and get students to have a good grasp of key people and countries. The lesson is designed to be teacher led and to question and get students to think about the information that are learning. Questions are in bold to pose to students GCSE question included with sentence starters and challenge tasks to stretch students.

Another revision resource based on the board game trivial pursuit, create question cards with different colours representing different colours. I bought myself online some of the games tokens which were cheap or print out some colored triangles to collect. I used these activities to increase engagement and break up revision after school and during lessons.

Students take it in turns to be told the key word and describe it trying to get as many of the 5 points in the key word. however many of the points they get off the card they score that many points. Students take it on turns after 3 rounds whoever has scored more wins.

Inspired by the game show Only Connect, students have to work in groups to be the quickest to work out the link/connection between groups of 4 words, works well for a recap lesson or plenary. Students click on the word to change its colour and must group the board into 4 groups and work out the links between them. The timer gives them 2.5 minutes to do this. Or show the words on the board and set the timer and use the worksheet for all students to try and work out the link. Students liked working in groups and competing to get the fastest time.

This task works really well and gets students engaged in their revision. Place images into each of the hexagons that connect in some way to the topic you are studying. Right the title in the middle. Students that have to explain how the images link to the tile, making notes around the image. Students can cut them out if they want to add more space (I recommend this for high ability students). Challenge task can be for students to then link the other images together.

WW1: Trench Story Activity/Homework

FREE

This activity is designed to aid student writing and build up literacy. Students roll a pair of dice and find the emoji that corresponds to this, they then have to use the emoji in their first sentence e.g. If they landed in the rain it could be “My first day on duty and rain was crashing around me, turn the trench into a bog.” They then repeat to find out their next topic to include. This works well as away of building literacy into a lesson or I usually print these out and set this as a homework task. Setting a maximum and minimum amount of rolls, and setting a competition to create the most creative story.
