Black Lives Matter: Why I am No Longer Talking To White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge.

(1)
Black Lives Matter: Why I am No Longer Talking To White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge. This lesson takes the key themes of the book ‘Why I am No Longer Talking To White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge’ and attempts to distill them into a format ready for a class room discussion. Ideal for discussions on race during a tutor period or at the end of a unit of work that features discussion on race. It is broken into the following stages: Intro to the author and initial mind mapping. A look at the history of black people, and their contribution, to British society. A discussion of how these historic experiences have created systemic racism – this is the crucial element of the lesson, to explain to students that being ‘colour blind’ can cause its own problems by neglecting to engage with the realities of black people. What is ‘white privilege’ and what could be done to stop it? A look at the NFL’s “Rooney Rule”. PEE paragraph on the Rooney Rule. Ending thoughts and development of mind maps. Extension task: Read Eddo-Lodge’s article. EAL Task: Keyword focus sheet I do not for a second pretend to be an expert in these matters but this is my attempt to introduce the discussion of systemic racism into my classroom. I hope it can be of some use to you in your classrooms too. If you feel I have said something wrong or phrased something insensitively please contact me at thomas@wolseyacademy.com and we can make corrections together. Hope it helps.

King John - The Baron's War (6/7 Wolsey Academy)

(1)
King John – from his troublesome fighting with his brother (Lionheart) to his troublesome time as King ending in Magna Carta and the Baron’s War. This SOW focusses on John’s policies both foreign and domestic and the consequences they had for his people. Works well as a stand alone SOW but is also integrated into the free to play History game world at WA (check it out if you haven’t already!) Each lesson contains a quick start guide, literacy & numeracy starter, teacher narrative context pages (chance for you to do some storytelling !) plenaries, a range of active learning episodes and a focus on writing skills. Homework, EAL and stretch activity sheets. The 7 lessons, along with the main lesson activities, are as follows: Richard I, Crusades & John (Plantagenet map relay, round robin Crusader battle reports, reading comprehension tasks, consult the codex activity). John’s Early Life (John v Longchamp card sort/PEEKA paragraph practice and assessment/consult the codex activity) John & Taxes (‘Be the teacher’ activity/essay construction practice/consult the codex activity) John & War (Army recruiter role play presentations & Bouvines video) Magna Carta (Baron grievances card sort/prioritisation tasks/PEEKA writing development) The Baron’s War (Round the Room battle reporting/descriptive writing task/videos) End of Unit Assessment (Planning and prep for a Narrative Analysis, Edexcel style Q on John’s legacy). Hope it helps. Remember – works best when the students are playing the (free!) King John game and completing the codex at the same time (perfect ongoing homework task or ict room lesson).

Scheduled to stretch over 3 lessons. Revision of the key skills (Publisher, KompoZer & Excel) before students complete their first mini practical.

Peer and self assessment again with a reflection on progress. Differentiation is provided throughout with hints and challenge activities. To keep timing and pace it also includes embedded timers for each part of mini-mock. Includes all the files required for the two practical exams (cinema scenario and then an ‘events arena’ scenario).

China: Conflict, Crisis and Change 1900 – 1989. Designed for the Edexcel IGCSE Breadth Study but features a wide range of activities and approaches, and is in depth enough, that makes it excellent for all China history courses. It is a standalone SOW (e.g. you don’t need to refer to a text book) and each lesson is self-contained, with all the information and resources required to deliver at least a Good rated lesson if not an Outstanding one. Assessment & activity types are introduced and revisited based on a retrieval grid to ensure maximum learning and imbedding of skills and knowledge. Each lesson is estimated to take 45-60 minutes to complete but in my experience many can stretch over 2 or even 3 lessons depending on teacher judgement. Each lesson features as a minimum: Numeracy & Literacy challenges. Keywords (to add to a student glossary). EAL support sheets. Stretch and challenge activities. Teacher Quick Start Guide. Literacy support mats. Homework extension task mats. Context slide for the lesson. Part 1: Lessons included: China History IGCSE: Intro to China & Course Set Up. (with online self-marking quiz) China History IGCSE: Boxer Rebellion Causes & Events China History IGCSE: Boxer Rebellion Consequences & Reforms China History IGCSE: The 1911 Revolution China History IGCSE: 4th May Movement China History IGCSE: Sun Yet-Sen, Chiang Kai-Shek & Guomindang China History IGCSE: Recap Lesson 1: 1900 – 1926 (with online self-marking quiz) China History IGCSE: The United Front & The Communist Party China History IGCSE: Expeditions, Massacres and Exterminations 1926 – 1934 China History IGCSE: Recap lesson 2: 1926 – 1934 (with online self-marking quiz) China History IGCSE: The Long March 1934-35 China History IGCSE: Consequences of the Long March WolseyAcademy.com, a non-profit resource provider, directs all profits to various charities, including refugee support, youth sports, educational programs, and carbon capture, achieving a carbon-negative status.

1066 and the aftermath of conquest - featuring a unique immersive interactive Learning World (free to play!). The Learning World feeds directly into the in class lesson activities and can be used as an ongoing homework project – students can complete the free codex booklet as they go to consolidate learning. It is a very comprehensive SOW that covers the Norman conquest and its impact on English society. Each and every lesson has been made with enough differentiation, activity variety, cross-curricular support and progress checks that they could be used comfortably ‘out of the box’ in an observation lesson. Care has also been taken to make sure the skills complement each other across the SOW and build up to progress in exam writing ability, source analysis and soft skill development. I’m quite proud of it – if I may say so! The first two lessons and the Learning World Codex are free to download (some of the slides are not editable in these free versions) but the remaining lessons are for sale and are fully editable. From my experience it created a huge ‘buzz’ about learning in the classroom and I even had kids in other classes asking to use it. So soon the whole department were using it and at KS3 parent’s evening it was all the parents talked about – many of them had also played through the Learning World. Note: The Learning World is a ‘beta’ version – I am currently looking for someone to upgrade the artwork to make a few things look more ‘Normany’. But I guarantee the pupils will love it.

Industrial Revolution: A Wolsey Academy Scheme of Work on the Industrial Revolution. Target is KS3 but all assessments throughout are GCSE and use Edexcel criteria. Each lesson contains a lesson plan, quick start guide, printable resources, mini plenaries, challenge questions, mark schemes, writing frames, lots of differentiation, a nice mix of activity types and a lesson specific EAL activity sheet. There are 14 lessons in total, but each lesson has enough material to last 2 or 3 lessons for even high ability classes. Most lessons include some high-level source analysis. The lessons also include a link to a site hosting a self-marking End of Unit quiz and a revision guide which make for nice homework activities. The SOW has been used for several years (with continual updates and improvements) at a very successful History department in an outstanding school. If used at KS3 it also acts as a grounding for any History of Medicine modules they might encounter at KS4 (hence the focus on public health and inventions). The SOW covers the following topics: Introduction to the Industrial Revolution (free) Population Boom (free) Factories Coal Mining Transport Robert Stephenson Industrial Revolution inventors Child Labour Public Health Problems Public Health Solutions & Government Intervention Source Question on the Big Stink Luddites British Empire Source Question on Empire William Cuffay & The Chartists (Black History Month lesson) Causes of Indian Independence All Guided Reading Challenges (24 in total - 6 of which directly relevant to the Industrial Revolution & Empire) Wolsey Academy, a non-profit resource provider, directs all profits to various charities, including refugee support, youth sports, educational programs, and carbon capture, achieving a carbon-negative status.
