This lesson covers all of the questions for the GCSE EDEXCEL Medicine Through Time unit, and would be ideal to use for a last minute revision/intervention lesson with students. There are examples of each question-type with model paragraphs and opportunities for students to complete exam-style answers. Ideally this would last 2x1 hour lessons, but it can be reduced to one lesson.

This resource was created to celebrate VE Day and is suitable for both primary and secondary school students. It can be used either as an assembly or a lesson or both. The first half of the presentation can be used as an assembly (approx 20 mins) or as an introduction to a lesson. It contains images; clips and explanations of the aftermath of World War 2 and why we celebrate VE day. If you are going to use it as a lesson you would present the introduction and use the rest of the powerpoint for an inferences and modeled evaluative writing task which is included in the second part of the presentation. The focus of the lesson is whether or not in light of the destruction caused in the Second World War we can really call it a ‘victory.’ The whole lesson would take approximately an hour to teach.

It can also be used as evidence for predicted grades (or TAGs if that becomes necessary). Printing costs can be reduced by either sharing with students online, or by removing the pages for writing and asking students to write the answers in their books.

This lesson is part of a scheme of learning that was made for Year 9 on the Cold War. It is particularly useful for those who are not intending to study this at GCSE. This lesson is intended to make the students think through being put in difficult situations and having to make decisions fast. It requires high level thinking skills with a specific focus on the skill of evaluation. It covers the Cuban Revolution; Bay of Pigs and the Missile Crisis. This resource can also be used for GCSE units, and will take about 2 hours to teach.

This is a 22 slide power point which will take about 3 hours to complete. It focuses on the questions surrounding the dropping of the atomic bomb. It contains a range of activities; sources and video clips with an extended assessment task at the end. This answers the questions: How does an atomic bomb work What were the positives and negatives with regards to dropping the bomb Why did the USA drop it? I made this as part of a key stage 3 scheme of learning especially for students who are not continuing with history at GCSE so that they understand one of the most significant events of the twentieth century. This could also be used for the Superpower relations unit at GCSE.

This resource contains 2 baseline assessments and two mark schemes for history transition from year 6-7. The first test examines knowledge and understanding, and tests students on their knowledge of historical methods and the Second World War (KS2 topic). It is fully differentiated and examines recall and key second order concept understanding. The second assessment is a skills assessment which evaluates students’ ability to use source materials. They are required to demonstrate key skills such as making inferences; comparing sources; assessing reliability. There are a wide range of written; pictoral and photographic evidence to evaluate on the papers testing all of their skills as well as written sources. They are accompanied with mark schemes and guidance on performance. I use these tests to inform planning and differentiation for the year.

This assembly was designed to demonstrate the significance of Bastille Day as a French holiday. It highlights the celebrations that take place in France every year on the 14th July, and links them to the storming of the Bastille and the importance of the French Revolution. This contains images; clips and explanations, and would take about 30 minutes to present, but some slides could be omitted if time is tight. It could also be used as an introduction to a lesson on the French Revolution.

This resource contains 3 quizzes and word searches on Year 7 topics. The students have to find the words by filling in the gaps using their historical knowledge, and then locate them on the grid. The resource contains 3 quizzes/word searches: The Norman Invasion The Black Death What is History There are also 3 differentiated searches for lower prior attaining students where the letter at the beginning of each word is highlighted in the grid so that this becomes more of a heads and tails activity. I have found using these useful revision/extension/remote learning resources.

This lesson was created to support lower prior attaining students grasp the concept of making inferences from sources. It teaches the skill through modeling and repetition. It was created to support learning to master the first question on paper 3 of the EDEXCEL GCSE History specification, but can be used for teaching inferences at any age and on any paper.
