Hello, and welcome to my resource shop. I aim to create original resources for KS3, GCSE and AS/A2. I also aim to provide resources on the less obvious, mainstream topics and bring in elements of the LNF. I have 20 years experience as a History teacher, and 15 years as HoD. Have a look around and grab a bargain! 😄 Please leave an honest rating on any resources you may buy. 👍

Elizabeth and Mary, Queen of Scots: a de Bono's Thinking Hats activity

(0)
An interesting group activity on the options available to Elizabeth when dealing with the threat of her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots. (Enough for 2 lessons). Each group (ideally no more than 3 pupils) are allocated 2 Thinking Hats (slide 4-5) and have to approach the issue of how to deal effectively with Mary (firstly in 1567). The coloured hats give each pupil a specific role within the group. All required printable sheets are found within the ppt (e.g. slide 8 is the colourless version of the group sheet, but keep the coloured version projected to guide them and slides 4-5 have the Thinking Hats and need cutting up for the pupils etc.) The ppt will then ask pupils to consider what Elizabeth should do in 1587 one Mary's involvement in the Babbington Plot was uncovered (slides 10-14). The last slide will give pupils the opportunity to give their opinion (based on their conclusion to slide 14). Was observed using the first part of this resource, and got an excellent as it covered so many bases! Enjoy.

All required printable sheets are found within the ppt (e.g. slide 3 will need to b cut up into three, slide 9 is the colourless version of the group sheet, but keep the coloured version projected to guide them and slide 10 have the Thinking Hats and need cutting up for the pupils etc.) Was observed for this lesson, and got an excellent as it covered so many bases! Enjoy.
Who was the greatest Victorian? Design a commemmorative plate!

Who was the greatest Victorian? Design a commemmorative plate!

(0)
A two lesson activity (including homework): Pupils are to consider (from a list of 18) which individual was the greatest Victorian. They have to consider how their contributions and achievements impacted Victorian life and if their achievements still impact us today. The list of 18 Victorians covers politicians, activists, reformers, nurses, novelists, inventors, scientists, explorers etc. I may have included names you don't agree with, and may have omitted names you think should have been included (if so let me know in the comments). The end task is a creative (organisation and communication) task, whereby pupils have to design a commemorative plate for their chosen Victorian. They also have to write a brief biography, indicating the short-term and long-term impacts of their achievements. You'll need paper plates! Enjoy!
