Hi there, I am a head of History based in South Yorkshire.
My strengths and passion are in teaching and learning. I enjoy making my lessons as engaging as possible as it is this, which I believe, to be the most effective behaviour management strategy and the key to helping students achieve excellent results and become engaged and excited about history and learning.

This resource is a 30 question Black History Month quiz created on Microsoft Powerpoint suitable for KS3 and KS4 secondary students.
Celebrate Black History Month this October (UK) with your classes or tutor groups with this 30 question quiz themed around the event complete with answers.
There are 30 multiple choice questions in this quiz covering popular facts and knowledge, famous faces, inventors, athletes, movers and shakers and figures who changed the world! The answers are then to be shared as a class either by going through each question (ensure you are in present mode for the correct answer to colour green) for students to peer or self mark. You could alternatively use the quick answer quiz sheet variation of this quiz if you would prefer.
I would recommend for this quiz students get into groups of no more than 4 and the activity should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete.

A full lesson to share with your KS3 and KS4 students for Black History Month.
This lesson has been created on Microsoft PowerPoint and is designed to be taught for an hour, however, the tasks can be adapted to speed up or slow down the lesson and some of the tasks included could be taught as stand alone activities. All accompanying information sheets/ worksheets have been provide and additional supportive student materialsfor the starter and plenary have been provided on the PowerPoint as hidden slides to help deliver the lesson quicker should you require.
The lesson includes keywords & definitions, a brief overview of what Black History Month is and why we celebrate it, scaffolded teaching, information sheets to search and categorize key information. Students are then to use the information they have extracted to complete profile pages on significant figures in black history. I have provided single A4 information sheets on 4 key figures from varying periods of history in addition to blank profile pages (black and white to save on colour printing and provide students with more opportunities to get creative!)
There is an AFL check point built into the lesson and to consolidate the learning students can attempt an exam style question which is great for practicing and developing point & evidence writing. The accompanying mark scheme to self-assess has also been included (this is currently styled as a 4 mark AQA history ‘describe’ question). Alternatively, this can easily be tweaked to meet the language and style of your own subject/exam board questions.
I really hope your students enjoy this lesson for Black History Month. If you get the opportunity, please review!
