Here are 6 PowerPoints which cover the 19th Century and the major changes in History. the pages link to the old EdExcel textbook but the PowerPoints can still be used for general lessons. Some lessons are more video-driven and the links are embedded

We know that organising topics into themes and key points can be very helpful when learning or revising a topic. The website allows for a title and between one to six points to be generated into a simple chalkboard image. Save those images in folders and invoke your memories with a classroom setting to put you in the learning frame of mind. This is a PowerPoint Template of sorts. I have not fixed the images or text so you can move them around. Look for my Learn with Bart PowerPoint and Learn with Chalkboard, which are a useful revision tool

Learn with Bart Simpson’s Detention Board OR use it for posters or PowerPoint templates. These link to a useful site but my files explain it and give examples. We know that repetition works with revision. This website has Bart write out a short sentence ten times Read that sentence ten times to train your brain to retain that sentence.

PESCM IT is a simple historical knowledge game which gives you an event to examine through the prism of PESCM. PESCM stands for Political, Economic, Social/Cultural and Military. You simply state facts or opinions under the prism of PESCM and see if they match those given on the back of the card. The more difficult your analysis the more points you gain. PESCM is a great way to break down an event and look at different aspects of it. This can stimulate analytical thought along side factual recall. Both are needed to argue your opinion with the new History GCSE. PESCM IT! Packs on a wide variety of specific topic events such as Elizabethan England are available. Look out for other games and puzzles from @teacherstevo

This is a useful revision resource for the new Early Elizabethan History GCSE Unit from Edexcel and other exam boards. Basically, each unit has a central title and it is up to the opponent/teammate/student to identify 8 key events, people, themes etc that link to it. You can decide on how much time you want to give them. There are more relevant cards and there are even some cards on exam questions from Edexcel. You (or your team) have 30 seconds to name eight historical events, people places etc. linked to a certain theme. After eight rounds you add up the score to decide the winner. 1-32 Players or 2-4 Teams Single player - Narrative Revision: This is a form of revision with which all eight of the Historical 8 must be used to create a story or narrative which meets the criteria of the title. This will aid their recall, as stories are easier to remember than facts alone. This can be a game as well as the partner can judge the effectiveness of the story and award points.
