This is a taster lesson for Year 11 students to prepare them for A Level History. It could also be useful during the A Level itself when exploring Gandhi, either as an introduction or for revision.

This is a lesson for mixed ability Year 7 students on the power of medieval kings. Students work out the why Henry II was being whipped, using a series of clues that can be placed in envelopes around the room. All the information they need is in the clues. This ends with a structured writing task around why the king is being whipped.

This looks at the four main long term causes of World War I- Imperialism, Nationalism, Alliances and the arms race. Students have a structured way of learning one factor and then teach it to each other. The lesson then asks students to link these to short term factors, using the Horrible Histories clip, with differentiated tasks to complete whilst watching this clip. It finishes with an exam practice. The worksheets are included within the PowerPoint slides, just to make things simple. This lesson was made for a mixed ability Year 9 class, and was 1 hour long. It could be broken into two shorter lessons.

A lesson on Emily Davison. Can be part of a unit on the Suffragettes or a stand alone lesson on a key figure from history. The 'statements' I used for a plenary exercise for lower ability classes. I handed students different statements. I then asked them to work out if that showed Emily was a hero or not. This helped them formulate an opinion on her actions. Would work for any KS3 class.

A lesson for the Eduqas GCSE History America unit. Focusses on students understanding the story of Watergate using two listening tasks. It then finishes with an exam question from the Eduqas GCSE unit.

An entire lesson on Reagan’s policies, finishing with an exam question from the Eduqas GCSE.

An A Level Revision Lesson for students on this topic, focussing on turning points.

An introduction lesson for the Edexcel A Level Unit 'Britain and India'

This is an entire Scheme of Work for the Historic Site aspect of the Eduqas Crime and Punishment Unit for History GCSE. Every lesson has activities, worksheets and practice exam questions. At times the work refers to the textbook- this is available for free by emailing the exam board, or contact me and I can email it. The scheme of work could easily be adapted for other students studying this content. A lot of the content is generic. I also have a Botany Bay Knowledge Organiser and Revision Booklet available - please see my other resources

A knowledge organiser and revision guide for the Botany Bay Case studies. It has 10 pages of information and tasks for students to complete.

A revision pack of 2 exam questions for questions 2-5 of the Eduqas Elizabeth paper, with success criteria for each question.

Looking at the different influences of propaganda and conscription students examine why people joined up to fight. The oral testimonies are all from the BBC website. I also used a clip from BBC Learning Zone of one of the last veterans. I attached the EAL sheet just in case anybody else needed it.

This is a background lesson before students started the controlled coursework task on the Impact of WWI on civilians in Britain. For the activity I spread the information slides (at the last part of the PPT) around the room. They then filled the worksheet in using these. For the plenary you can print off a 'brain shape' for the 'fill your brain' activity. The clips for the activities are in the notes section of the powerpoint.
