The second lesson to my Socialism unit, covering three of the five components to the ideology (equality, social class and workers’ control). The presentation gives a level of coverage that would lead to a deep understanding for KS5 students. There is ample content available here to spread over two lessons. The presentation is also supported with summary worksheets for students to complete over the course.

The sixth lesson in a unit of work looking at the causes of WWI. This lesson provides a detailed analysis of the various qualities of the different weapons, vehicles and national armies. This is initially engaged with through a card game (rules - students select an attribute without first stating their score. They then compare attributes of the different cards, with the winner taking the other players card(s) and then going first on the next round. Continue until there is a winner), with the justification for some of these scores given in the notes of the relevant slide. The rest of the lesson then provides an overview of how this militarism changes over time, before finally concluding in a writing task. Scaffolding is provided for analysing causality.

The fifth lesson in a unit looking at the causes of WWI. This lesson looks at how the desire for empire triggered the Moroccan Crises, using a clear case study which can then be connected to WWI. The Moroccan Crises are subsequently compared to the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, so that students are comparing specific events as causes. The PowerPoint is supported by a narrative of both crises, as well as a table for consolidating knowledge.

A short lesson within a wider enquiry, analysing the causes of WWI. This lesson provides an overview of the Schlieffen Plan, making use of an external video that can be accessed by the URL within the notes. Should you not wish to use that external resource, the lesson still provides an overview of the plan, as well as criteria for the analysis of causation.

A lesson within a wider unit of work, analysing the different causes of WWI. This lesson provides a narrative of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As this is heavily based on narrative, rather than effectively designed resources, I will share it for free so you can take what you’d find useful.

A lesson that begins the enquiry - to what extent was WWI caused by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand (positioned to students as: “Did a single murder trigger the war to end all wars?”) Students engage with the first order concept of nationalism and then overlay this with the second order concept of causation. Activities are scaffolded with clear objectives. The powerpoint is accompanied by country-specific information relating to nationalism.

The first lesson in a unit of work looking at WWI. This lesson introduces the conflict and supports students in analysing the significance of WWI using clear criteria. The lesson is accompanied by the handout that provides activities and information to fill out student understanding of the conflict and how to evaluate it.

This is a pack of five detailed posters on key individuals from the Medieval and Renaissance periods, designed for the Edexcel ‘Medicine Through Time’ course. The key individuals covered are: Galen Vesalius Harvey Sydenham Bacon PowerPoint versions can be provided after purchase if you are keen to make edits.

Included are a bundle of history-technique posters designed for A3+ sizes. The posters cover the following topics: Historical literacy High level essay structure Introduction writing Paragraph structures for middle-levels (two versions provided) What interpretations are How to compare different interpretations How to analyse the usefulness of a source What ‘comprehensive’ means in analysing source usefulness Digital rules (where schools allow the use of devices in lesson) How to structure an answer comparing the usefulness of two sources I can subsequently provide PowerPoint format versions if you wish to make amends after purchasing.

A GCSE-standard lesson for a Medicine Through Time course, looking at the role of Francis Bacon and the impact of the Baconian method. The lesson also provides an early insight into deductive vs. inductive reasoning, as well as scaffolds student thinking on the second order concept of cause & consequence. The lesson concludes with an extended writing task that draws upon scaffolding for both paragraph structure as well as the need to incorporate effective use of criteria (necessary for the GCSE examinations).

A further lesson in the Dark Ages Interpretations unit. This now provides students with: The story of the Peasants’ Revolt A detailed case study looking into the revolt with numerous sources - this case study allows students to match against both interpretations An investigation grid to scaffold analysis for the students

A further lesson in the Dark Ages Interpretations unit. This now provides students with: An early introduction to ideas of heresy A detailed case study looking into the witch trials Information cards on the different roles of the Church A scaffold to match the interpretations against the case study

The follow up to the first two Dark Ages interpretations lessons. This now provides students with: An early introduction to theories on medicine A detailed case study looking into the Black Death - this case study allows students to match against both interpretations Character cards for a student roleplay to consider the varying consequences of the Black Death A scaffold to match the interpretations against the case study

The follow up to the introductory Dark Ages lesson. This now provides students with: An early introduction to the challenging idea of ‘royal absolutism’, made accessible for Years 7 and 8 A detailed case study looking into King John and the Magna Carta - this case study allows students to match against both interpretations A scaffold to match the interpretations against the case study

An introductory lesson to a KS3 unit introducing the second order concept of interpretations. This lesson provides an introductory scaffold, two short interpretations and guides early analysis that is followed up in subsequent lessons.
