Full lesson for KS3 on the Murder of Thomas Beckett
Includes all resources needed to teach as a stand alone lesson but we use as part of our “changing power of the monarch” unit.
Complete lesson (actually would take 2-3 hours of lessons if all activities completed) on the causes of World War I stemming from the Nationalist activities of the Black Hand Gang in Serbia and Bosnia.
Includes very detailed resoures- source analysis, questions newspaper task, steps to war chronology task and paired work.
Designed for high challenge Year 9 teaching but detailed enough for KS4 units on Conflict and Tension.
Very comprehensive for non-specialists and specialists alike.

Complete lesson- high challenge for KS3/ KS4 pupils on the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand- the spark which started WWI.
Goes with my lessons on Long Term Causes of WWI but can be used as a stand alone activity. Including the video and questions this would probably take two single lessons (1 hour each). However there are alternative tasks so could be done without the video in a shorter time. There are also extension tasks such as the newspaper task.
Very detailed resources as you can see.
Includes:
Powerpoint with printable activities
2 x cartoon source analysis activities
Video and questions (Link provided)
Detailed exposition of events and key individuals

Challenging but accessible lesson for KS3 using source work and a continuum.

This is my first double lesson for ALevel Russia (OCR) course 1894-1941
I use pages from Oxley/ Corin and Fiehn or Access to History by Lynch but students can do their own research with ipads or use the slides also if you do not have access to any of these textbooks to find the information. There is a lot of info in here from various sources so does not matter if you do not have the textbooks.
Looking at an intro to Russia in 1894 including the context of Alexander II and III reforms and autocratic repression and how this legacy would cause Nicholas II problems from the outset.
Also examines the issues/ challenges facing Nicholas as he ascends the throne in 1894. Students complete a “health report” on RUssia and then analyse Nicholas’ main problems ready for the next lesson (Opposition to Nicholas’ rule). Includes make yyour own card sort activity and some analytical thinking about the positive and negative impact of reform and beginning indurstrialisation.
Will actually take 3 hours plus to get through it all - there is a lot!
I am including my course guide which took hours in this lesson has topic check lists, key people, key vocab etc which is needed for students as well as tips for good essays and exam paper past questions.
This is why this is a bit more expensive than my usual lessons- will get your ALevel Russia students off to a flying start.
This is also part of my bundle of resources for ALevel Russia if you want to look at that rather than buying individual lessons.
This is for Edexcel ALevel-
