Black Death vs Great Plague of London
maxblackburnmaxblackburn

Black Death vs Great Plague of London

(0)
This lesson was planned for Y8 students sitting the Common Entrance exam. It was designed to revise BOTH the Black Death and Great Plague of London. It asks students to pitch which of the plagues should be featured in an empty gallery in the Museum of London. This lesson works really well as students think about wider consequences which could also lead to discussion and research into increased freedoms after the Black Death etc. This lesson could be easily adapted to suit GCSE teaching of the History of Medicine. My students supplements the information sheet with relevant textbooks in my room. In the next lesson students used a past paper question to demonstrate their knowledge. Enjoy!

King John Interpretations

(0)
In this lesson student’s challenge the interpretation that King John should be remembered as GOOD King John. Students first are introduced to the idea posed by a historian, then, students watch a clip before collecting evidence themselves. At the end of the lesson, the students create a tweet to challenge or support the statement posed. Excellent to get students thinking about how opinions are formed.
Great Fire of London Investigation
maxblackburnmaxblackburn

Great Fire of London Investigation

(0)
Designed for a Year 8 class, this lesson explores the Great Fire of London and encourages students to understand why it got so out of control. The concept you spin to students is that they have been selected to travel back in time to investigate the historical event. When they are in 1666, they gather evidence to then create a hypothesis. Excellent for AG&T, exploration and student-led learning. Also supplied are some sticker templates because giving students name badges always improves the status of the activity you are trying to engage them in :-) All images required through a search engine labelled for reuse. The Sky Academy clip attached is provided for use in schools. Comments are appreciated.
How successful was the Roman army?

How successful was the Roman army?

(0)
In this lesson students challenge an interpretation made by the History Channel. The lesson is set-up by students watching a minute long introduction to a documentary. They then spend the lesson trying to test the interpretation presented. The end result is that students write a letter to the History Channel advising whether their statement was right or wrong. I taught this lesson to some able Y6 students but it work equally well for Y7 and Y8 if desired. Example student work attached.
