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.

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.

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.
