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. 👍

Why did people join the Third Crusade? A persuasive writing activity. (LNF)

(0)
A two lesson activity focussing on SPEAR reasons behind volunteering for the Third Crusade. Pupils learn the ingredients of successful persuasive writing and use this knowledge to assess a "version" of Pope Urban II's speech at the Council of Clermont. This activity has a Welsh flavour as it is based on Giraldus Cambrensis' journey around Wales in 1188 - pupils have to imagine they are Gerald preparing for a speech to the people of Bangor (adapt as necessary). Pupils then self/peer assess their speeches using colour and the success criteria. NB: All images used have been obtained from free clipart sites.

WJEC GCSE Depression Unit (for Depression, War and Recovery) New Specification (Wales)

(0)
A revised version of my previous Depression, War and Recovery resources, catering for the requirements of the new specification (first exam in summer 2019). Two key questions here include: 1 What caused the Great Depression? (Competition from abroad, lack of investment, free trade, Wall Street Crash etc.) 2 How did people cope with the challenges of the 1930s? (Dole, Means Test, Hunger Marches, Special Areas Act, radio and cinema, new industries, contrast between old and new industry areas etc.) All 5 exam questions are covered at least once in the resources. All have reference to success criteria/structure strips to aid pupils understanding of the requirements. DIRT improvement codes included too. The actual structure strips will need to be purchased as an addition to this resource. All images are, as far as I’m aware, from google images (free to use). Those images that I’m aware are not, have been deleted - ready for you to insert the relevant picture.

Why did Wales and England go to war in 1276 and 1282?

(0)
An activity to help students understand the underlying causes behind the Anglo-Welsh Wars of the late C13th. This looks at the reasons for the deteriorating relationship between Llywelyn ap Gruffydd and Edward I, the aims of both men, their reasons for wanting war, the course of both wars, and the consequences of Llywelyn’s death in December 1282 (i.e. how Edward conquered Wales). The ppt is basically a walk through of the card resources with visuals and some additional info. I’ve designed this as one of my Controlled Assessments Tasks (WJEC) and therefore have added 14 sources for students to choose 5 in order to evaluate. These may be of use for developing utility questions from Year 7 upwards (but you’ll have to adapt and simplify). Enjoy!
