History! All of the History and a little bit more history. Some stuff's free.. some stuff isn't (mainly the stuff that took me an absolute age to make).

OCR British Depth Study 1890-1918 Revision Checklist

A very simple checklist I have produced for the 'old-spec' OCR British Depth Study 1890-1918. Simply a list of all of the areas students need to revise for Paper 2, complete with page numbers from the Walsh book to save them asking where to find the info from! Hopefully might be useful to someone!

This is a 1 hour 'round the clock' activity to be used in conjunction with Ben Walsh OCR GCSE history text book. Worked so well with my Y11's last year to get them ready for their exam. There's a mixture of individual tasks, 'each on, teach one's' and source analysis! Fun for all the family! Get involved!

Knowledge Organiser: Early Years of the Weimar Republic

A simple knowledge organiser that includes important dates and key terms for the early years of the Weimar Republic 1918-1924. I use this to support my teaching of A Level OCR History Unit Y221 'Democracy & Dictatorship in Germany', but this could be used to support any A Level history groups studying the same period. I laminate mine for the students and we use them every week for a pop quiz! Excellent tool for improving the contextual knowledge of your students!

Source of the week: International Relations

Just a simple template for a display I use for my Y11 students studying International Relations. The posters point out key information about a source and give some WAGOLL's for a 'what is the message/purpose' style question. Document is unlocked so that users can easily change the sources/WAGOLL to their liking.

This is a resource designed for Y9 but could also stretch to Y10 on The British Empire. The lesson introduces students to what The British Empire was. It introduces them to key words in fun dictionary race competition, and allows them to analyse several sources from the National Archives so that they can begin to create a picture of the motivations behind expanding the British Empire. Each activity also includes a challenge activity to stretch and challenge the learning of your students!

Remilitarisation of the Rhineland

(0)
This is around 100 minutes of GCSE History lesson aimed at Y10/11 students. The lesson aims to teach students the importance of the Rhineland and how/why Hitler remilitarised it! The lesson includes a comprehensive powerpoint/embedded podcast/source analysis/working with actual mark schemes/exam questions/peer assessment/Tarsia puzzles/reading comprehension/factfiles ect ect! The lesson does, in one part, refer to some reading (a small amount) in a text book. I use Ben Walsh as it's fantastic but you could easily supplement your own recommended reading here (it's just a little info on how/why the Rhineland was remilitarised). If this is of any use to you please let me know and I will continue to upload!

Victorian Children: Working in the Factories

(0)
Fun for all the family! This lesson is designed to suit Y7/8 Historians but could easily be adapted to suit Y9 too. This little package includes a presentation including information, video clip, starts, 3 main activities and a plenary, some class discussion topics, some 'thinking hat' activities and much more! I've included the worksheets and sources needed to run the lesson - as well as separate learning objectives so that students can stick them into their books and check them off at the designated 'learning checkpoints'. There are challenge tasks throughout and the main activity is differentiated into three learning levels. Elements of visual, kinaesthetic and auditory learning activities so hopefully this one ticks all of the boxes! The content is about what it was like for a Victorian child to work in a Victorian factory, it touches on class differences and the laws that were passed. It also includes some GCSE style exam practice! And breathe! Enjoy!

This is a set of 6 term-by-term scheme overviews for Year 7 History. We use these so that parent, and students can keep track of what the students are learning about each week - and which KPIs and learning objectives they will cover in each session! Can be adapted to suit your own SOW or kept and followed as I teach my year 7 students! Also a useful guide to keep track of who has missed certain lessons throughout the year!

This is a lesson and resources to support the teaching of Edexcel's GCSE 9-1 unit: Early Elizabethan England, 1558-1588. This specific lesson introduces the students to Unit 2.1 - Plots & Revolts at home. It includes activities that will give students an understanding of the Revolt of the Northern Earls, Ridolfi, Throckmorton & the Babington plots. There is reference to some in-class reading on the presentation - I use the Pearson book, but you could use your own version that your school stocks and simply change the page numbers referenced. Includes a starter card sort activity as well as three main activities and a review! Please let me know if this is useful to you as I have planned the whole of the Elizabeth unit and will upload more if so!
